Pediatric Dermatology
Apart from sporadic exposures in general and subspecialty clinics, this occurs almost entirely in the Children’s Hospital where there is a full-time pediatric dermatologist, Dr. Julie Prendiville.
While on this service, residents see patients in the dermatology clinics which occur four half days per week and on the wards in consultation with other services. This is an extremely valuable component of the program as children’s dermatology can be seen in association with other disorders. In addition, there is the opportunity for exposure to the dermatological problems associated with newborns and premature babies.
The clinics see approximately 50 patients per week and of these, 2/3 will be new patients. Many of these are complex diagnostic or management problems and are time consuming.
There are no designated pediatric dermatology beds but patients are admitted as the need arises. There are approximately 220 active beds at BC Children’s Hospital and of these, 50 are in the nursery and 22 in ICU.
