Regarding education of residents and students, informal tutorial and patient-driven
discussions between faculty and house-staff are a daily way of life. More than 100
full-time and clinical faculty actively participate in resident training. Resident
responsibility gradually increases over the course of three years and the maturation
of the resident from student to teacher occurs as a result of professional-to-professional
interaction which is a major distinguishing feature of our program.
Intern experiences include ward, PICU, NICU, pediatric emergency medicine, newborn
nursery and primary care pediatrics. The intern works closely with both supervising
residents and faculty to develop clinical skills. Supervising residents participate
in required months of ward supervision, primary care pediatrics, pediatric emergency
medicine, developmental pediatrics and adolescent medicine. They also have exposure
to pediatric sub-specialties during elective time.
In addition to direct patient care responsibilities, a number of learning sessions
are scheduled for the housestaff. The residents participate in morning report, attending
rounds, grand rounds, teaching rounds, journal club, board review, resident conferences,
radiology conference听and morbidity mortality conferences-the ultimate goal is to achieve
a full and enjoyable educational experience.
