Message from the Head

A lifelong commitment to fostering the health and well-being of our children and their families distinguishes Pediatrics from other clinical disciplines. Learning the art of Pediatric care will be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences you encounter as you make the transition from medical school to residency. However, Pediatrics is also rapidly evolving as a science, especially as we begin to assimilate the knowledge and promise of precision medicine into the more traditional aspects of clinical practice. Be assured, the integration of genomic data and molecular pathways into Pediatrics will be transformative, and will undoubtedly effect how we train the next generation of Pediatricians. As you begin to consider the type of Pediatric training that aligns best with your career goals, you may want to consider those programs that offer rapidly changing curricula to keep pace with new technology and data that is driving a deeper understanding of how we will diagnose and treat Pediatric diseases.

Ultimately, our residency training program is designed to enhance your overall career development by teaching you the fundamentals of Pediatric care and to raise your academic awareness by contemplating fundamentally important issues surrounding childhood diseases. Whether we help prepare trainees for a career in General Pediatrics or as a physician-scientist in a Pediatric subspecialty, residents leave our program feeling fully prepared to take on any career path.
