Education
Our education programs cultivate leaders in pediatric medicine and research through innovative teaching and mentoring, experiential learning, and quality improvement initiatives that lead to improved patient care.
Physicians who graduate from our programs are critical thinkers who never stop asking “why” or “why not” as they continually strive to push beyond current scientific and medical boundaries.
Research
The University of Chicago, one of the world's preeminent research institutions, was founded to create and disseminate knowledge - through teaching, publication, and the development of discoveries and technologies - for the public benefit.
The Department of Pediatrics is committed to personalized, effective care for children and families; training the next generation of pediatrician and pediatrician-scientist leaders; and advancing the understanding and treatment of pediatric disease to improve the well-being of all children.
