The Pediatric Department at MetroHealth Medical Center is one of the largest providers of health care to infants, children, and adolescents in the Cleveland area. More than 60 faculty supervise residents, medical students and other health professionals in serving more than 3000 inpatient admissions and over 55,000 outpatient visits annually. Ambulatory services are provided at the recently constructed Women and Children's Pavilion in the Outpatient Plaza with multiple clinics including pediatric acute care, continuity care, adolescent medicine and pediatric subspecialties. Residents work along with attending physicians, psychologists, fellows, nurse practitioners, pediatric nurses, social workers and child life workers in providing care for pediatric patients and their families. At Metrohealth we believe that pediatric education is enhanced by a coordinated approach to patient care integrating faculty, residents and a talented array of various health care professionals.
Faculty provide close supervision and guidance in an atmosphere which preserves resident autonomy.
A wide range of active research by pediatric faculty provide ample opportunity for residents to participate in both clinical and bench research based at the Charles H. Rammelkamp, Jr., M.D., Center for Education and Research .
