Miami Children's Hospital's mission is to provide excellent family centered healthcare to children in an academic environment that meets or exceeds the expectations of those we serve and educate; as well as to collaborate with others in our community to improve the health status of children.
The MCH Pediatric Residency Program offers experience in all facets of pediatric care from the most complex intensive care to the office practice of general pediatrics. The medical staff includes more than 110 specialists representing over 40 pediatric specialties and sub-specialties in a hospital complex that houses 289 beds and provides numerous community-outreach programs. MCH sees over 12,500 inpatients and 160,000 patients in the outpatient setting over the year.
The three-year residency training program in pediatrics is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), with participation limited to 69 residents and two chief residents. In addition, fellowships in varying specialties are offered. The focus of the program is to prepare residents for a lifetime of quality practice either in primary care pediatrics or in the subspecialty of their choosing. During the course of the program, residents assume increasing responsibility for patient care, acquiring clinical expertise, knowledge and skills along the way. Emphasis is placed on providing a balanced training program that ensures that residents will be able to undertake independent medical practice in today's rapidly changing healthcare environment.
The MCH Residency program is affiliated with the Florida International University (FIU) College of Medicine.
