UW Health Continuity Clinics
UW Health clinics, located throughout the Madison metro area, serve pediatric patients from birth through early 20s. Our patients include those who are privately insured as well as those with Medicaid. We care for a diverse population from dozens of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our staff of over 45 physicians are dedicated to teaching both in and out of the clinic. We provide the full spectrum of pediatric care including, but not limited to, the well child, complex medical care, sports medicine, LGBTQ health, behavioral and mental health, asthma and allergies, adolescent health, and more.
Residents will also receive education in quality improvement initiatives and “behind-the-scenes” aspects of managing an outpatient practice.
