Pediatric Interest Groups
Pediatric Interest Groups (PIGs) are organizations within the
medical school environment intended to help students learn more
about the field of Pediatrics. Medical students who are considering
Pediatrics as a specialty, who are interested in what a Pediatrician
does, and who want to work with and learn about children are
encouraged to participate in activities sponsored by PIGs. Along
with furthering your education, there are numerous opportunities
to serve the public and children through community-oriented
projects. Some of these projects give you practical training
interacting with pediatric populations. Contact your clerkship
director or faculty advisor for more information about the Pediatric
Interest Group at your institution.
