The residency program has taken full advantage of its opportunity to work with our ºÚÁÏÉçÇø colleagues who are world-renowned experts in pediatric resident education to create the program that takes each resident’s learning needs into account to design the best possible educational experience for the individual. A uniquely customized curriculum in multiple inpatient and outpatient educational settings is designed to prepare learners for a successful career in whatever aspect of pediatrics chosen – whether it be general or subspecialty pediatrics, academic or community medicine, or even global and underserved advocacy.
