The Pediatric On Line Self-Evaluation Examination

• Pediatric Quizes are produced and maintained by the Department of Pediatrics. They are designed to help students determine what they know and what they need to learn. Anyone at SUNY Upstate medical University is welcome to try them, but students taking Pediatrics should finish all the quizes by the end of the clerkship. These quizes are ungraded.

Student On-line Evaluation of Pediatric Clerkship

• Before the end of each clerkship, you will be emailed a survey link and asked to complete the Student Evaluation of Pediatric Clerkship. It is your opportunity to give us necessary feedback about the Pediatric Clerkship. We value your observations. Among other things, we give prizes for teaching to our residents based entirely on your evaluations. The data you enter is saved with no identification, and no one will be able to determine who you are from your information.

Finding articles in the scholarly literature

• Medline from SUNY Upstate (options include PubMed & Ovid) PubMed is accessible from anywhere. Ovid has some restrictions if you are off campus, but can give you full text for 86 journals, including Pediatrics and J. of Pediatrics. If you plan to access the library from off campus using a commercial Internet Service Provider, call the library for a LEAP password to access Ovid.
