Pediatric Residency Program

Primary Care Education

Every entering intern joins a Primary Care Center team. The teams function like group practices where the residents follow a panel of patients over their three years of training. Residents will attend the Pediatric and Adolescent Care Center for a half day every week. Four sites have been established to provide comprehensive care for area children. They offer the opportunity for residents to function in an office setting.

While in the Pediatric and Adolescent Care Center, residents have no other responsibilities than those associated with the care of their patients. Primarily focusing on well-baby and well-child care, the resident provides regular visit care and immunizations as well as follow-up care after Hospital discharges. General pediatric faculty, community pediatricians, behaviorists and social workers are assigned to each team.

There is a newly designed primary care education program of lectures and experiential learning.

The Pediatric and Adolescent Care Center has proved a fertile ground for professional growth. In addition to forming enduring relationships with patients and their families, residents forge professional and personal relationships with the staff by working with the same supervisors and attending physicians each week.
