The Pediatric interns participated in a community engagement project during orientation (June 2023). They packed over 100 period packs to be distributed to community orgs.
The pediatric residency program at RUSH University offers outstanding training in pediatrics, preparing graduates to successfully practice in primary care, begin a hospitalist career or obtain a competitive fellowship. You’ll build a strong clinical and research foundation in a friendly and collegial, yet academically challenging environment. Our mid-sized program is small enough that our residents transition quickly to feeling part of the RUSH family.
We transitioned to an X+Y schedule in 2022, which allows residents to have dedicated inpatient and elective time during X weeks. On Y weeks residents have continuity clinic, acute care, an academic half day, and protected weekday time off. This also allows residents to have longitudinal rotations including advocacy, behavioral and mental health, and medical education. Residents love this new schedule and we anticipate that it will positively affect both wellness and education. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
The mission of the Pediatric Residency at RUSH University Children’s Hospital is to provide an outstanding education in a supportive environment to a group of diverse residents. Our graduates are exceptional pediatricians equipped to succeed in their general pediatric or subspecialty career paths promoting the health and wellness of children and communities.
Our comprehensive program offers exceptional opportunities:
