The comprehensive three-year program provides extensive exposure to patients with both common and unusual disorders. Over the years, graduates of virtually every U.S. medical school have participated in our training program. Our graduates practice pediatrics or serve as members of the full-time faculty of medical schools in almost every state. Subspecialty training beyond the PL-III year is available in all areas for anyone who seeks additional experience or who desires to pursue a career in academic pediatrics. Our approach is somewhat unique in that we place particular emphasis on the development of trainees as individuals.
Faculty members are available, friendly and eager to help each trainee.
After entering the program, each house officer is assigned to a specific faculty member, who will act as counselor for both professional and personal matters. Martin I. Lorin, M.D. , the Director of House Staff Education and Training, and I are always available. We encourage close relationships between the faculty and house staff during the process of curriculum planning and evaluation, which is performed by a joint house staff faculty pediatric curriculum committee. This introductory brochure and the additional materials you will receive describe the program in more detail. We welcome your interest in our program and look forward to greeting you personally.
