The Department of Pediatrics trains 30 categorical pediatric residents. In the course of the three-year categorical pediatric program, while caring for and learning about children who range in age from 0 to 21 years, residents receive balanced and comprehensive training in primary, subspecialty and critical care pediatrics. A highly skilled, experienced and congenial faculty guides residents through a broad educational experience as the residents play a vital role in the care of more than 2,000 inpatients, 3,000 newborns and 20,000 outpatients each year.
Einstein Medical Center has longstanding commitments to providing medical services to its community and to educating future practicing physicians. Both commitments are represented in the pediatrics residency program at the medical center, with our ties to the community providing the basis for a strong primary care program. Our residents' primary care experiences are augmented with inpatient tertiary care and subspecialty rotations at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children (SCHC), also located in North Philadelphia. The inpatient rotations for our residents take place at SCHC on the Einstein service, which is directed by Einstein faculty. We believe that this combination of a nurturing primary care program at Einstein Medical Center complemented with inpatient and tertiary care experiences at a major children's hospital, provides our residents with the best of both worlds.
Einstein Medical Center is a major affiliated teaching hospital of Jefferson Medical College. Einstein Medical Center pediatric faculty members have academic appointments at Jefferson, and Jefferson medical students receive core pediatric training at Einstein Medical Center.
