This is accomplished with a broad exposure to pediatrics in the Outpatient Department, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Inpatient Ward and Cardiology. In addition, residents supervise third year medical students assigned to pediatric rotations. Call is every fourth night with several months without call. More complex problems are encountered and mastered providing confidence and experience. More subspecialty rotations are scheduled, including Pediatric Intensive Care, and electives are planned to round out the resident s pediatric experience with their future goals in mind.
Senior residents supervise and educate first year residents directly.
Night call varies from every 5 th to 8 th night with several months off call per year. Research is highly encouraged and all residents participate in Marshall University Research Day. This provides the needed understanding that all physicians must have to evaluate new modes of therapy and journal article evaluation. The Pediatric Residency Program at Marshall University is based at the Marshall University Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia. Cabell Huntington Hospital is contiguous to the medical center building and houses all inpatient activities.
