Our state-of-the-art curriculum features new
developments in ambulatory care, child abuse and neglect, behavioral and
developmental pediatrics, adolescent risks, and developmental disabilities.
Subspecialty rotations are highly focused for optimal resident learning and
integrated outpatient care is considered to be an essential component of all
rotations.
Residents
care for children in a rich mix of clinical settings, including
community-based programs, children's hospital, rehabilitation centers and a university hospital.
Residents
are partners and colleagues in the educational endeavor. They serve on the
Educational Committee and hold regional and national offices in
professional organizations. Each resident has a faculty mentor, and written
feedback from both individual resident and attending physician is exchanged
monthly. Additionally, residents select electives from
a compendium with a variety of options and often design their own objectives
and learning experiences.
The tradition of academic excellence at
Bronx-Lebanon ensures high quality preparation and flexibility in career choice,
as well as role models for careers in research, practice, or both.
Nationally recognized scholars on the faculty author numerous publications each year. The department offers
workshops in research methods and assists with grant support for interested
residents.
Several innovations in the program support
residents and families in their interests and needs beyond medicine.
Transition workshops throughout the three years focus on supervisory,
teaching and human relation skills. Practice management seminars and career
planning are integral to the program. Monthly social activities and family
events provide balance and fun. A number of residents also participate in
community service activities that benefit children.
South
Bronx's progressive health care reform gives pediatric residents several
advantages. Our legislative funds, unique training opportunities in primary
care pediatrics, creates a variety of models of practice, and offers loan
repayment options. Bronx neighborhoods and abundance of cultural,
recreational, and sporting activities make the state a great place to live
and work.
I am certain you will find the staff of our
Office of Medical Education to be committed, enthusiastic, organized and
helpful. As one of the largest programs in the north-east, we are able to offer
residents optimum flexibility and choice.
