Pediatrics is a clinical medical discipline which studies the development; health care and disease prevention of children from fetus to adolescence after the medical students of pediatrics have mastered the relevant basic medical courses.

Its task is to enable students to grasp the preventive and health measures for children, the diagnosis and prevention of common diseases in pediatrics, and the clinical diagnostic thinking methods, examination procedures and differential diagnosis of difficult diseases, master the rescue procedures and methods for critical and severe cases，understand the new knowledge and technology of pediatrics, constantly reduce the incidence and mortality of diseases, and improve the cure rate of diseases. The purpose of pediatrics is to protect children's health and improve the quality of life. The object of study of pediatrics is children, who are in a growing organism with great individual differences, strong ability to recover injuries caused by diseases, and weak self-protection. This also makes pediatric internal medicine occupy an increasingly important position in the field of medicine and has great potential for development.

Through the study of common diseases and multiple diseases in pediatrics, we can master the development law of common diseases in pediatrics, the diagnosis and prevention plan, the clinical diagnosis thinking method, inspection steps and differential diagnosis of difficult diseases, the rescue procedures and methods of critical and severe diseases, the new knowledge and technology in pediatrics, and train the clinical thinking in pediatrics. In teaching, students are required to master the basic theory, skills and knowledge of children's internal medicine. Through the practice of theory professors and students, we can deepen students' understanding of theoretical knowledge, cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve clinical problems independently, pay attention to the differences and connections with other clinical disciplines, and introduce the new progress of this discipline, so that students can improve the clinical thinking ability of Pediatrics. While emphasizing the level of theoretical knowledge, we can also cultivate good professional quality through mixing In order to lay a solid foundation of theory and ability for clinical work in the future, we should strengthen students' independent learning ability, innovative thinking ability and clinical thinking ability.

By studying the common diseases of pediatric, students should master the law of development and the common pediatric diseases diagnosis and treatment scheme, master the methods of thinking in clinical diagnosis of disease, inspection procedures and differential diagnosis, master the procedures and methods of emergency rescue, learn new knowledge and new technology to cultivate clinical thinking of pediatric medicine.

    The students should master the basic theory, basic skills and basic knowledge of pediatrics in teaching. To understand the differences between children and adults in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, immunology, pathology and so on.To master the characteristics and nursing of newborn babies. To master the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of the following pediatric diseases:Neonatal RDS, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis, infantile diarrhea, pneumonia, asthma, CHD, anemia, acute glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, bacterial meningitis, viral encephalitis, congenital hypothyroidism and so on. To understand the diagnosis and emergency treatment of children's critical illness. To understand pediatric bone marrow puncture, thoracic puncture, lumbar puncture technique.
