Clinical Curriculum - Categorical Pediatrics Residency

Each year of residency training provides increased responsibility for patient care, clinical supervision, teaching, evaluation and administrative management of service areas. Clinical rotations currently are divided into four-week blocks.  Of note, we are moving to an "XYZ" schedule (with concentrated ambulatory time during Z blocks) in July 2025.  More details will be shared during your interview day.

PL1

 

Each PL1 is assigned to an inner-city clinic site for one half-day per week throughout the three years of training. Here residents take on the role of primary care provider and child advocate.

PL2

 

In their second year, residents add an additional half-day experience in a community clinic providing additional experience in community pediatrics. Alternatively, they can choose to apply to a specialty track, utilizing the additional time for a focused project. These tracks include advocacy, research, international health and quality improvement

PL3

Along with additional time for electives and individual units, third-year residents are given dedicated time for teaching and quality improvement experience, as well as protected board review time.
