Our outpatient department is newly renovated and family friendly with resources, including a clinical social worker, in-person translators, pharmacy support and an onsite dental clinic. 

Our primary care clinic sees patients from the newborn period through 21 years of age. Residents care for panel of patients during their training – inheriting patients from the graduating residents as well as bringing patients from the inpatient services such as newborn nursery, wards and ICUs. Resident clinics vary by rotation – while on inpatient months, residents have about 2 clinics and on outpatient rotations about 4-6 clinics. Our primary care outpatient curriculum focuses on Bright Futures as well as a variety of common outpatient topics.

The outpatient rotation (approximately 4 weeks per year) is an opportunity to experience the various subspecialty clinics and participate in community outreach projects.
