Our residents have consistently performed above the North American mean for each year of training. All residents participate in one Objective Structured Clinical Exam per year. These exams may use simulated patients or parents to test specific residency objectives. The exam concludes with a teaching session, discussing the correct responses. Exam scores are subsequently tabulated and distributed.
Cases are appropriate to the level of training.
Feedback is given immediately after. Each year, the resident is assigned to a different staff person. Through an email response system, residents are quizzed on a specific topic taught during weekly Chief of Service rounds. Certifications Residents who have satisfactorily completed 3 years of pediatrics residency are eligible for the American Board of Pediatric Examinations.
