Education

Our pediatric hospitalists are highly dedicated clinician-educators. They are committed to resident and medical student education during rounds and in morning and noon conferences to ensure that trainees are given an outstanding knowledge base in pediatric hospital medicine. They strive to be effective role models for teaching an interdisciplinary approach to the management of medically complex patients, and to model compassion, integrity and respect in all interactions with family and staff.

The fellowship in pediatric hospital medicine is a two-year program designed to produce expert clinicians who are trained in studying and optimizing medical care of hospitalized children and who approach this work in a scholarly manner. Graduates become experts in the clinical care of hospitalized children and also, depending on their specific interests, leaders in safety and quality management, directors of medical educational programs, administrative leaders and/or clinical investigators.
