Advance your knowledge, contribute to child health
Paediatrics and child health are crucial areas of study that focus on the physical, emotional, and developmental well-being of children, from birth through adolescence. Paediatrics encompasses a range of healthcare needs, including immunizations, nutrition, mental health, chronic disease management, and addressing congenital disorders.
Paediatricians not only treat diseases in children but also help fostering environments that support healthy development. The field requires a deep understanding of childhood physiology, psychology, and social influences, making it a vital area of study for improving the future health of communities and society as a whole.
At Otago, the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health (Dunedin) offers many opportunities at all levels of undergraduate and post-graduate study, so you too can contribute to this field.
