Residents care for a diverse mix of private patients, clinic patients and recent immigrants. Both the general pediatric patient and the child needing the most subspecialized services receive care. All medical ancillary services are available, and residents have the opportunity to work as a team with a variety of medical professionals, including those in nursing, social work, pastoral care, nutrition, laboratory, radiology, respiratory, physical therapy, case management, occupational and play therapy, teaching and library services. Atlantic's many multidisciplinary clinics enable residents to work as a team with other medical specialists and residents in other specialties. Quality of Life While it is expected that residents work hard, personal needs are also recognized by this program.
