Residency Training Program
Education
Clinical Education
We strive to cultivate learning and to develop competent, confident, compassionate pediatricians. Resident education is our top priority, and our program is pro-active, with housestaff leading the way to continuous program innovation.
Helping you prepare for your ultimate career goal is our goal- whether it is primary care or subspecialty training, and our mission is to provide you with exceptional training to help you become an exceptional pediatrician. This mission is realized at the bedside, on rounds, in conferences, and in seminars. A representative schedule of rotations can be seen below. Each experience is designed to help develop well-rounded, self-motivated, confident and extremely competent pediatricians.. We have strived to create a schedule that provides adequate structure, with flexibility enough to enable you to follow your interests and dreams, from research, to international experiences, to advocacy. No two schedules are identical, because the educational program centers on you.
Duty Hours
Since 2003, our program has had a consistent and simple approach to meeting the ACGME Duty Hours requirements: Work with our existing resources in the Department of Pediatrics to insure the best possible patient care, and meet the highest educational standards while meeting the duty hours requirements.
We have addressed the new challenges as we have met those in the past through collaborative problem solving with residents and faculty leading the charge. As of July, 2011 we will eliminate 24 hour call for all PGY-1 residents, and move to day and night teams on all inpatient units. Interns will work no more than 13 hour shifts, and will work both day and night shifts on rotations on the General Pediatrics Unit and PICU.
The program has worked hard to insure accurate reporting with minimal effort by housestaff, and we are leaders in duty hours compliance within the institution.

• Inpatient Pediatrics
• Neonatal/Newborn Program
• Ambulatory Pediatrics
• Didactic and Interactive Education
