The Pediatric Residency program is a three-year program sponsored by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, with a strong emphasis on teaching and research. Our facility was one of the first Children’s Hospitals in the State and includes a 38 bed General Pediatric service, a 10 bed Adolescent service, a 13 bed Pediatric ICU, a 30 bed Regional Perinatal Center, a 20 bed Intermediate Nursery, and a 30 bassinet full term nursery. The faculty comprises every medical and surgical subspecialty and all rotations may be done on-site. The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology department is affiliated with both the Morgan-Stanley Children’s Hospital at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York and St. Jude’s Research Center in Memphis. Being a primary referral center for most of the regional hospitals, we have a wide variety of pathology and diagnostic challenges available for the residents to learn. There is a strong emphasis on self directed hands-on teaching and learning. Staffed by friendly attending physicians, the Children’s Hospital presents a very conducive atmosphere for learning. All educational goals and objectives have been structured to foster development of the six competencies that the ACGME has advocated for life-long learning as physicians. Scheduled conferences and rounds include: Morning Report, Bedside Teaching Rounds, Resident Seminars, Grand Rounds, Noon Conferences, Subspecialty Conferences, Journal Club, Radiology Conferences, The Emergency Pediatrics Series, A Board Review Series, and Research Methods Course. Research is an integral part of our residency program. Each first year resident is required to attend the Research Methods Course taught by Dr. Vincent DeBari, PhD. Subsequently, each resident develops a project with a faculty member under the auspices of Dr. Vincent DeBari, PhD and Mark Kosinski, MD, PhD, Director of Pediatric Research. It is the expectation that each resident complete a research project over the course of his or her training. At the recent Pediatric Academic Society (PAS) conference in Toronto, Canada, three resident research initiatives were accepted for presentation. Two were for posters and one was a platform presentation. Rotations
