ASSIGNMENT: CLIPP CASES

(www.med-u.org)
DUE DATE: Login by the 2nd week. 2 cases required, others optional.
Introduction
The ComputerAssisted Learning In Pediatrics Program or CLIPP is a series of 30+
interactive computer cases developed by the Council on Medical Student Education
in Pediatrics (COMSEP). Using the national pediatric curriculum objectives as the
underlying foundation, CLIPP provides a general pediatric and evidence-based
approach to common pediatric problems. CLIPP's 30+ interactive cases are
designed to cover all of the core content of the curriculum of the Council on Medical
Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP). The objectives for this clerkship are
based on the COMSEP curriculum.

Required Cases
You are required to complete 2 cases: #4 and #26 as they deal with
nutrition related topics.
Using CLIPP
When used as a preparatory exercise or adjunct to clinical experiences, CLIPP cases
can be a huge help. For example, there are 5-6 cases that go through well child
care for children of various ages. Doing these 5-6 cases before the outpatient
portion of your rotation could be very helpful. We have also identified various CLIPP
cases that can serve as an alternate (virtual) experience for the items on your
clerklog. Please use it in this capacity if you are having any difficulty completing
your clerklog,
