Welcome

Dear Applicant

Thank you very much for your interest in our pediatric residency program. Although many of your questions can be answered by reviewing the web site, we strongly encourage you to visit our program and meet with the faculty and house staff. We believe it is very important for you to determine how your goals and personality fit our program and to evaluate how our program can foster your career.

We offer an excellent curriculum which provides you with a foundation for future practice, subspecialty training, teaching and/or research. You will find that our graduates are highly recruited for academic and community practice positions.

In addition to our pediatric program, we have a four year Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatric Program that prepares the resident for board certification in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine.

Applications should be made through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). We look forward to meeting you. If you have questions prior to your interview, feel free to call us.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Saenz, MD, MSEd
 Director, Pediatric Residency Program
