During the clinical training in the fifth year (polyclinics), trainees are allocated to individual groups of the Pediatric Department and learn about pediatric illnesses while being involved in the management of patients. At the time of the conference and ward round on every Wednesday, the trainees make clinical presentations about their patients. During the interview, trainees are required to summarize individual cases using a power-point presentation.

During the clinical training in the sixth year (selective polyclinics), trainees are involved more closely in the management of pediatric patients than during the polyclinic training in the 5^th year. With this serving as the core, the trainees spend 2 weeks in intensive training, including slide presentations about patients and a journal club, involving reading abstracts of relevant English-language medical articles on the last day.

Lectures interposed between clinical training sessions focus on the more detailed aspects of pediatric advanced life support (PALS), neonatal resuscitation program (NRP), and critical care after resuscitation as compared to the 5^th year. In addition, trainees can learn how to guide baby bathing and breast feeding through receiving training at classes for mothers. If they so desire, trainees are given the option of participating in experiments, research, and nocturnal outpatient critical care. Training with general practitioners are also provided, allowing trainees the experience of primary pediatric care, different from the experience obtained at the university hospital.

During implementation of these training programs, a questionnaire survey of the trainees is conducted at appropriate timings, aimed at improving the programs and providing training programs of higher quality to individual trainees.
