Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has trained generations of leaders in pediatric medicine. Our Pediatrics Residency Program is a three-year program, accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education and leading to certification in General Pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics. We believe that well-trained pediatricians are cultivated gradually. At the heart of our program is a focus on developing well-rounded physicians who embrace our core values: integrity, compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.
