Each year Children's Hospital cares for more than 62,000 infants, children and adolescents through its inpatient and outpatient facilities. As a children's hospital within a hospital, it encompasses a complete range of medical and surgical services. More than 30 medical and surgical subspecialities devoted strictly to children are offered.
Additional programs provide care for birth defects, psychiatric, developmental and sleep disorders.
The residency program provides a comprehensive, well-rounded experience in general and subspecialty pediatrics as well as neonatal services. PGY 1 residents, directed by senior residents and faculty, perform diagnostic procedures and formulate therapeutic plans. At any given time, a PGY 1 resident on inpatient service will manage an average of seven to eight patients, but no more than 11 at one time. The typical night call schedule for PGY 1 residents is every fourth to fifth night. For PGY 2 and PGY 3 residents, call varies from every fifth to seventh night.
