Curriculum for General Pediatric Residency

All pediatricians, including subspecialists, must be well prepared to provide comprehensive care for all children. Miller Children’s sub-specialists, along with UCI’s pediatric faculty, are enthusiastic about preparing residents for pediatric practice, sub-specialty fellowships or enter general pediatric positions in academia. Formal training in clinical problem-solving and critical appraisal of the literature is also incorporated into the residency curriculum.

A didactic core curriculum in clinical pediatrics is offered through:

• Morning report
• Daily noon lectures series
• Case-based discussions
• Journal club
• Monthly reviews of board-style questions
• Skills-based training (i.e.,ock codes)
• Morbidity and mortality conferences
• Grand Rounds (every Friday, 8-9 a.m.; Houssels Forum)
