Our mission is to provide a welcoming environment to new RCP’s and provide enhanced support for the transition from academia to practice. |
Key Components of Children’s RCP Residency Program
Patient care experiences:
RCP residents gain competence in core clinical pediatric skills in a unique system design. Each RCP resident gains an expanded perspective of the Children’s system through experience in a variety of specialty units.
Precepted orientation:
RCP residents and experienced preceptors jointly deliver safe and effective pediatric care. RCP residents identify personal learning styles that enhance critical thinking skills.
Reflection:
The program emphasizes the importance of self-reflection through facilitated group discussions. New graduates strongly benefit from the opportunity to share and process stresses in a safe environment.

Classroom and simulation lab experiences focus on core pediatric content presented by experts from our Children’s team utilizing evidence-based practice.
