Pediatrics

【Education】
The department of Pediatrics provides health care services for physical and mental conditions in children from infancy through adolescence. In our department, 31 pediatricians have each special field, such as hematology, oncology, immunology, neonatology, metabolic disease, neurology, endocrinology, genomics, allergy, rheumatology, cardiology, nephrology, and psychology. We present major point of child health and general pediatric diseases in lecture. Clinical training provide basic attitude for pediatric treatment, interview technique, and physical examination. In graduate course, students can choose several study subjects from the following research contents, and get medical research specialists or advising doctors. In future, we expect our students become leaders of pediatric field.
