Residency Program
It gives us great pleasure to welcome
you to Schneider Children's Hospital and Schneider Children's Hospital
North Shore and provide you with descriptive information about our graduate
training program. One of the most important decisions in your professional
and personal life is choosing a training program to enhance your career
goals. The transition from medical student to pediatric resident and pediatric
resident to attending physician is an exciting experience.
Schneider Children's Hospital is
one of the largest training programs in the nation. Our commitment is
to provide the highest standard of pediatric education through the delivery
of state-of-the-art, comprehensive care in an academic and research-oriented
environment. The Pediatric Training Program, in existence since 1954,
is one of the country's most effective and prestigious. Supervised by
more than 150 full-time faculty members who specialize in all subspecialty
areas of pediatric medicine. Its fine reputation is based on generations
of graduates who are now successful clinicians, researchers and academicians.
To ensure a positive experience for
our residents, we provide personalized, one-on-one training. Each new house
officer is assigned a mentor who is responsible for ensuring a well-rounded,
high-caliber, enjoyable three years of training through individualized
feedback and discussion. A Core Curriculum with well-defined educational
goals has been developed for all rotations and electives. This is fully
integrated into bedside teaching and covers the entire training experience.
The training program encompasses
the full gamut of pediatrics from well-baby care and preventive medicine
to emergency, intensive care and subspecialty services. Special programs
include the Child Development Center, Asthma Center, Epilepsy Center, Child
Protective Service, Heart Institute, Apnea Program, Cystic Fibrosis Center,
Lyme Disease Center, Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit and the Critical
Care Transport Program.
We are most pleased that you have
chosen Pediatrics as your career. The commitment to the care of infants,
children and adolescents is one of the most rewarding experiences for a
physician. Few other specialties can make such an impact on the future
of our nation.
We look forward to having you visit
