Educational Experience

Education is the focal point of the pediatrics residency program at Einstein Medical Center. A wealth of innovative programs and research projects reinforce the department's commitment to resident education.

The full-time faculty of pediatric generalists and subspecialists conducts the pediatric residency training program. In all clinical rotations, teams composed of attending physicians, supervising senior residents, junior residents and medical students work together to create a collegial and congenial educational environment.

The hospital and departmental libraries contain current texts dealing with general pediatrics and subspecialties. Extensive pediatric educational web-based resources are offered through the medical center's Luria Library.
