Wards usually start at 8AM on the 5th floor.
Spend time in the ward, OPD/emergency.
Dr Naji is ped surgeon, he is happy to have you in his surgeries. Also talk to him about spending time with him, he is very keen on teaching and will teach you lots of important things.
Spend time with the specialists in the ED, lots of things to learn.
Take the history and physical there before the specialist does.
You can start some days late, I would recommend so to spend more time in the ED and see more patients and presentations.

Recommended resources:
First 6 weeks are general pediatrics (5th floor wards 1st floor OPD) and the last 2 weeks are neonatology (6th floor).
There is no need to learn OBGYN stuff, comes as you go.
