Pediatric Residency - Sidney Kimmel Medical College at TJU/Nemours duPont Hospital for Children

Описание: We’re pleased to offer a truly unique pediatric residency program that combines the leading pediatricians and surgical specialists of the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children with the outstanding academics of Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University (TJU).

During your 3-year residency, you’ll rotate through the medical/surgical units, general pediatrics clinics, and newborn nurseries, as well as gain training in private practitioners’ offices.

We’ll give you as much responsibility as possible, supervising your progress and decisions along the way. You’ll also be able to explore areas of special interest through a choice of electives.

The primary teaching hospital for the program is the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, located in Wilmington, DE. The other hospitals in the program are the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, just 30 minutes away in Philadelphia, and the Christiana Hospital, located right nearby in Newark, DE.

We accept 22 pediatric residents each year into the program. Throughout this 3-year training period, you’ll progressively gain more responsibility, not only in patient care but in the teaching and supervision of students, junior residents, and other health care professionals. And we offer the entire spectrum of pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties, with multiple physicians represented in each.

All residents participate in primary care experiences in private offices in Delaware, Philadelphia, and the surrounding Delaware Valley, while continuing to serve patients who are medically underserved at traditional inner-city hospital-based clinics.

You’ll have three to four one-week blocks in an assigned private practice office. You can elect to do further block rotations with other pediatricians in the area who practice out of solo, group, and managed-care practices. This office-based apprenticeship is designed to train you in a setting similar to your future practice, and will help you understand the daily practices of your referring pediatricians.
