Program Description
The Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Residency Program offers
comprehensive pediatric training in all of the following areas:
- Community ambulatory pediatrics
- Care of hospitalized children and adolescents
- Evaluation and treatment of acute and emergent
medical conditions in children and adolescents
- Neonatal and pediatric intensive care
- Delivery room and newborn infant management
- All pediatric subspecialties
You will follow a curriculum that emphasizes the core skills and
knowledge necessary to become a competent general pediatric physician,
but will also be given autonomy to customize your learning for a
projected subspecialty fellowship.
In the first year, as a PL-1 resident, you are introduced to the
fundamentals of pediatrics. This helps develop skills and knowledge
necessary to manage common and complex medical conditions encountered
in the hospital, delivery room, NICU and outpatient practice.
In the second year, as a PL-2 resident, you will expand your skills
of independent management of patients and begin to develop supervisory
skills necessary to lead a medical team.
In the third year, as a PL-3 resident, you will gain expertise
in supervising and directing a medical team. The development of
independent decision making skills are emphasized through leading
junior residents and medical students in the hospital, outpatient,
ICU and emergency department.
Graduate Outcomes
The most important indicator of the success of a training program
is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their
training. Approximately half of our Pediatric Residency graduates
have entered subspecialty training while the other half have gone
onto primary care positions. Graduates consistently find that Mayo
Clinic's reputation opens the door to a wide array of opportunities.
Accreditation
The Pediatric Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester is accredited
by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Graduate medical education at Mayo Clinic has been fully accredited
by the ACGME with a five-year (the maximum) accreditation cycle.
Certification
Every resident who has successfully completed Mayo's Pediatric
and Adolescent Medicine Residency Program has been eligible for
American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) certification.
Program History
The Pediatric Residency began in 1920, and since that time
more than 600 physicians have completed training. Currently the
residency trains 10 residents per year in each of three classes
for a total of 30 residents in the program.
