UW Health clinics, located throughout the Madison area, serve the full spectrum of pediatric care 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 all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

We see 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.
