The clinical rotation in pediatrics provides the Pharmacy Resident with training and experience in various aspects of pediatric pharmacotherapy. The rotation is based on three different wards at Victoria General Hospital – 4C, 4D and PICU. The focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of acutely sick children. Each ward patient has his or her own staff pediatrician, child psychiatrist or surgeon who serves as their most responsible physician. Pediatric Royal College residents (R1-R4), first year Family and Royal College medical residents (R1) and third year UBC medical students are also involved in patient care. A pediatric intensivist is responsible for PICU patients.

There is also a full multidisciplinary team consisting of a pharmacist, dietician, respiratory therapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, social worker, child life specialist, social worker as well as registered nurses. A majority of rotation time is spent on direct patient care activities, including but not limited to active participation in daily patient care rounds. The remainder of the time is comprised of working on assigned projects and/or presentations and participating in scheduled therapeutic discussions. The resident is provided with informal feedback on a daily basis and is formally evaluated at the rotation midpoint and at the end of rotation.
