The Massachusetts General Hospital Pediatric Residency Program aims to train the next generation of pediatricians to practice innovative, evidence-based, multi-disciplinary medicine.
This solid general pediatrics training allows residents to explore varied career opportunities and prepares them to achieve extraordinary professional success. Our graduates are some of the most trusted primary care providers in their communities. About half of our graduates continue their training in the most competitive fellowship programs in the country.
Our training program teaches residents to provide state-of-the-art patient care in diverse settings. At MassGeneral Hospital for Children, residents work in “a hospital within a hospital,” allowing them to leverage the resources of one of the oldest general hospitals in the world. While at our community hospital sites (Newton-Wellesley Hospital, North Shore Children’s Hospital and Cambridge Health Alliance), they provide expert care in neighboring communities, in conjunction with MGH specialists, close to patients’ homes, easing the burden of illness for families. It also affords residents the opportunity to learn how to recognize disease at its first presentation in the community and how to identify children who need an increased level of care. Our residents then learn how to care for children who require more specialized or intensive care when they rotate through our new, state-of-the-art 18-bed NICU and 14-bed PICU at MGH. The MGH Pediatric Emergency Department is also an incredible learning environment as the only center in the region with simultaneous designations as a level I adult trauma and burn center and level I pediatric trauma center.
Our residents are a diverse group of extraordinary individuals who form a tight-knit community and excel in many areas above and beyond pediatrics. Three of the most active resident groups are the Legislative Advocacy Group, the Experimental Theater Group (reading club), and the Global Health Program.
