I'm in the process of obtaining more hours in a new setting for PT observation, but I'm not sure which to choose for pediatrics? There's one that is hospital based another that is outpatient, out of the two which would look better on an application for school?
 
I don’t think PT schools really care which setting for pediatrics you observed in. If I were you, I would try to observe in both because that shows you’re dedicated to exposing yourself to different settings. Good luck!!
 
What is the outpatient pediatrics setting ? For example; ECI, outpatient sports medicine, etc.
The inpatient pediatrics setting is a great place too.
