The Pediatric Residency Program provides a thorough background to prepare the physician for pediatrics in the 21 st century. It is the program's goal to equip trainees with an excellence in pediatrics, whether they choose to be a generalist or pediatric subspecialist.
Electives are available in all pediatric subspecialties and in ambulatory care.
The program works in conjunction with the State University of New York at Buffalo to foster careers in the primary care field of pediatrics and through the Generalist Scholars Program to promote scholarship. During the residency training period, numerous opportunities exist for interaction with all faculty, both full-time as well as community physicians. The community pediatricians, who attend on the inpatient wards together with the subspecialists, welcome residents. They are very much interested in teaching and in sharing their years of experience. A wide range of practice sites are available for continuity clinic, including both rural locations and inner-city clinics.
