Intern year focuses on improving information synthesis and medical decision-making. First-year residents hone their skills during 3 months of inpatient General Pediatrics and 3 months of inpatient Subspecialty services. They learn to deliver high acuity care during ED and NICU rotations, develop a greater facility with issues of growth and development during their Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics rotation, and learn how to diagnose and manage common neuropsychiatric issues in Mental and Behavioral Health rotation. |

Second-year residents spend 2 months each in the PICU, NICU, and ED to further cultivate their abilities managing high acuity patients. They also assume supervisory responsibilities on subspecialty services and General Pediatrics night team rotations and learn to be career advocates for children during the Community rotation. With the support of faculty mentors they begin to tailor their training through the creation of an individual curriculum. |
