Questions about a disease or condition
Your doctor should be your first source of information about your child's health or treatment. If you are researching a disease, or have a general question about a medical condition, the health information section of our website contains descriptions of most pediatric medical conditions.
School assignments
To protect the health and privacy of our patients, we have very strict infection control and patient privacy guidelines and cannot permit students to shadow doctors, nurses or other health professionals at the Hospital. If you are researching a disease or medical condition, please use our condition content and health information as resources. The Philadelphia-area NBC10 Homework Helpline (1-888-NBC-TV10) is also a great resource.
