AdventHealth For Children (formerly Florida Hospital for Children) is in Orlando, Florida. It serves as a clinical teaching affiliate to Florida State University. In addition, it is one of the preferred teaching sites for LECOM, KCUMB, and UCF. The Children’s Hospital has over 200 inpatient beds, including a 22-bed PICU, 9-bed CVICU, and a 90-bed NICU. The Children’s Emergency Center at AdventHealth for Children is the site for the pediatric emergency medicine rotation, with 16-bed Pediatric ER. The Emergency Department’s annual volume is approximately 27,000 visits per year.
Students participate in patient care by obtaining history and performing physical exams on pediatric patients coming to the emergency department. In addition, with the help of the residents and attendings, the students formulate appropriate plans of care for their patients and follow through on plan execution and outcomes. The rotation also includes a dedicated student lecture series and a procedural skills workshop.
