Pediatric Specialties
The Department of Pediatrics of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine & Public Health and the American Family Children’s Hospital provide an extensive range of services to children of all ages. In addition to a broad array of subspecialty services, the division of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine provides comprehensive primary care in nine community-based locations.
Numerous other pediatric services are offered by our medical school colleagues in anesthesiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics and rehab medicine, radiology and surgery. Outreach activities include clinics throughout the state for allergy, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, hematology and pulmonology.
The scope of these clinical services, combined with basic research done in a number of different areas, results in dynamic relationships that foster stronger research and patient care services. And because many of our faculty are both clinical practitioners and researchers, delivery of care takes medical advances from the research environment and puts them into practice.
Services to patients occur primarily at the American Family Children’s Hospital, two community hospitals (including one with neonatology and perinatology services), nine primary care offices and the Waisman Center, one of nine national facilities that includes a Mental Retardation Developmental Disabilities Research Center and a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities.
