Overview

Our 78 pediatric residents come from all regions of the country. With a wide variety of interests and training experiences, they constitute our program's greatest strength. Exploring individual interests, both clinical and academic, is encouraged. Each year, graduating residents go on to an array of competitive fellowships and primary care positions.

Training at each of the hospitals is primarily resident-oriented, and only residents are permitted to write orders. While fellows and faculty in all subspecialties are readily accessible to the residents as an integral part of the team, they generally maintain the role of consultants and teachers. The team effort among residents, fellows, and faculty is a healthy one and contributes to the excellence of the training experience.

A strong sense of camaraderie invariably develops within each class and among the residents as a whole, providing a valuable support system during residency training. Experience shows that many lasting friendships are generated in this environment. Wednesday night basketball games and informal social events such as ski trips, parties, and camping are frequently organized. Traditional resident activities include the intern barbecue, the resident holiday party, the PL-3 dinner, the PL-1 and PL-2 retreats, and an unforgettable skit night.

The Program Director and two Associate Program Directors coordinate all aspects of residency training and serves as the resident advocates. Responsibilities include overseeing resident meetings to keep the residents informed and soliciting input on program-related issues, biannual resident reviews, career planning and assurance of compliance with ACGME oversight of residency training in pediatrics.

Three Chief Residents organize numerous teaching conferences in addition to providing direct teaching to residents and medical students. Each resident has a significant voice in shaping the training program.

First-year resident positions are offered through the NRMP. In addition to the standard three-year residency positions, other positions are available for applicants interested in dual residency programs (e.g., pediatric/neurology) or shared residency programs (e.g., Pediatric Medicine/Rehabilitation (PM&R)). During the second year, three residents are selected to serve as Chief Residents following completion of their third year of training.
