Einstein Residencies and Education

Pediatrics - Program Info
At Einstein Medical Center, we are dedicated to two primary goals in our Pediatrics Department: serving our local, mostly underserved, community in North Philadelphia and training competent, successful pediatric residents. We offer a unique experience in the city of Philadelphia by combining strong primary care training in a community-based setting with inpatient experiences at a tertiary care children’s hospital.

Our residency program is medium-sized, with the following components:
36 total categorical pediatric residents
Highly skilled, congenial faculty consisting of both general pediatricians and subspecialists
Broad range of clinical settings including community hospital, tertiary care children’s hospital and community outreach rotations
Academic affiliation with Jefferson Medical College where all faculty members have academic appointments
3rd and 4th year medical students from Jefferson Medical College rotating in clinic and inpatient unit
Dedicated, experienced faculty members make a well-rounded pediatric training experience their top priority and are proud to continually place graduates in top fellowship programs and general pediatrics positions.
