Pediatric residency training extends beyond clinical knowledge and procedural skill. Our program is committed to cultivating physicians who are not only technically excellent but deeply human in their practice. Through a curriculum spanning physician well-being, communication skills training, and narrative medicine, residents engage with the full complexity of being a pediatrician. We believe that meaning and humanism are not peripheral to medicine; they are at its core.
Our Humanism in Pediatrics curriculum is longitudinal and progressive, designed to build a skillset that residents carry with them throughout their careers and beyond.
Highlights of this curriculum include:
- RADAR curriculum
- PedsTalk simulation-based communication skills training
- Emotional support sessions focused on bereavement and moral distress
- Narrative medicine offerings such as Tiny Stores, Story Slam, and FLAG Rounds
- Professional development series focused on topics such as work-life integration, conflict resolution, imposter syndrome
- CORE mentor program
- Monthly pizza with the program director
- IMG support committee and orientation curriculum
Together, these efforts reflect a unified commitment to training physicians who flourish; and who, in turn, help their patients and families do the same.
