COMMUNITY PEDIATRICS CONCENTRATION:
OVERVIEW
Community
Pediatrics offers a special concentration for those residents with
a particular interest in community health, cultural competency,
and child advocacy.
We select two-three residents per year, depending
on interest. By the end of the three years of residency, those who
participate in the concentration will have had an in-depth, longitudinal
experience and will be expected to demonstrate skills in the areas
of community health, cultural competence, and child advocacy. These
individuals will serve as peer leaders and as a nucleus of energy
for our community pediatrics-training program.
The enhanced curriculum includes the following:
• Additional block rotations dedicated to community pediatrics.
• An independent project in a chosen community health-related
area of interest. Each resident completing the concentration will
choose a mentor from the faculty of the Division of General Pediatrics
with whom he/she will work closely through the three years. In addition,
appropriate mentors may be selected from leaders of community–based
organizations, faculty from related disciplines in the University,
and/or other experts in community health and child advocacy.
• Opportunities to present work at regional or national meetings.
In addition to the above, we meet as a group three
times a year for dinner, discussion, and camaraderie.
