Abstract

This elective report provides an overview of the experience of a first-year medical student completing a pediatric rheumatology elective through the Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA). Students apply to work with a rheumatologist and experience alternating schedules between inpatient and outpatient clinical medicine over the course of the summer. This elective is unique, as it exposes pre-clerkship medical students to learning experiences that will prepare them for clerkship and beyond. It provides practical experience as well as insight into research within the specialty at a world-renowned Canadian academic institution.
