GI (PEDS 445) COVID

Overview

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic there have been changes in the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic schedules. Most of the clinics are now “virtual”. One of the GI providers is assigned weekly for in person visits on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at the Blue Ridge clinic (801 Blue Ridge Road, 2nd Floor, Raleigh NC 27607). The number of in person visits can range from 1 – 7 per week.

For the GI electives the resident/student is expected to compile a schedule for the elective block.

In order to do that the following steps will be helpful:
