Vision and Mission

Our vision is that all faculty, staff, and trainees in the Department of Pediatrics will flourish in their personal lives and professional careers.

These opportunities are guided by principles of diversity, equity and inclusion to address personal and professional well-being. Professional development opportunities will be developed based on the needs of faculty and staff within our department and through the recognition of national and local issues affecting pediatric clinical care, education, quality improvement, research, and advocacy. Consistent with the Wisconsin Idea, the impact of our professional development education will benefit the children and families that we serve in our communities and throughout the state.
