Welcome Class of 2030!
Welcome to the Pediatric Interest Group Page!
The goal of Pediatrics Interest Group (PIG) is to broaden student exposure to pediatric medicine. We hope to support the exploration of specialties within pediatrics and connect students with medical professionals.
The purpose of the Pediatrics Interest Group (PIG) at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix is to expose students to the field of pediatric medicine. Our group will organize and host a variety of events throughout the year to provide exposure to various pediatric subspecialties and foster networking with other medical professionals. We also hope to collaborate with other interest groups to further broaden exposure.
