The Department of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Department of Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are proud to offer a combined Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Training Program. We are accepting applications for an entering class in 2009. This four-year program is designed to cultivate young physicians into academic internal medicine/pediatric physicians. The diversity of clinical experiences, the proximity of the two institutions, and research opportunities available at our institutions make this a unique training opportunity for those with such interests.

The four years of curriculum has been designed jointly by the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics under the direction of Dr. Todd Barton and Dr. Stephen Ludwig. The curriculum provides for 3-6 month blocks in each specialty during each training year. Each successive year allows for progression of responsibility that includes supervision of junior trainees, as well as medical students in both departments. Scholarship is expected, particularly in this program given its desire to cultivate the next generation of academic internal medicine/pediatric physicians. A comprehensive and diverse outpatient experience is provided by having residents alternate bi-weekly in internal medicine and pediatrics outpatient clinics over the course of four years.
