Description Contents Requirements Funding

The Pediatric Residency Program at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is a comprehensive, accredited training program designed to develop skilled and compassionate pediatricians committed to improving child health. This program provides residents with a robust clinical foundation through exposure to a wide spectrum of pediatric subspecialties, including general pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, neurology, neonatology, endocrinology, and more. Residents participate in hands-on patient care under the supervision of renowned faculty who are leaders in their respective fields, gaining valuable experience in outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, emergency departments, and specialized units.

The curriculum emphasizes a balanced combination of clinical expertise, medical knowledge, professionalism, communication skills, and systems-based practice, preparing residents to serve diverse patient populations. Educational activities are complemented by structured lectures, case discussions, interdisciplinary team meetings, and research opportunities that foster academic growth and scholarly productivity. The program emphasizes a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring residents are trained to provide culturally competent care.

Throughout the residency, trainees are encouraged to develop leadership qualities, advocacy skills, and a dedication to lifelong learning. The program also offers unique opportunities for specialization and research, supported by Johns Hopkins University’s extensive resources and collaborative environment. Graduates of the program are well-equipped to pursue careers in academic medicine, subspecialty fellowship training, hospital medicine, and general pediatrics, making a positive impact on child health locally, nationally, and globally. The supportive and innovative training environment at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital ensures that residents graduate ready to meet the complex challenges of pediatric healthcare with confidence and excellence.

First Year

Our first year is designed as a foundational year while allowing residents to begin to individualize their training in our innovative program to take next steps on possible future career pathways.

During this time residents will learn how to evaluate, diagnose, manage and coordinate the acute and chronic care of children with a wide range of conditions. Experiences in inpatient and outpatient settings will also provide opportunities to apply the core concepts of our LEAD curriculum and PACC sessions.

The majority of patient care experiences during the first year will occur as a member of the inpatient interprofessional teams. Residents will spend time on the pediatric hospital service, the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, the newborn nursery and resuscitation team, and in the emergency department. Significant mentoring will be provided one-on-one by experienced physician leaders in these clinical settings. In addition, block time is set up for electives that will assist in determining further career interest, scholarship and specialization options and time dedicated to our LEAD curriculum with a unique focus on simulation, scholarship, and team building.

Second Year

The second year provides innovative opportunities for further individualization of learning, career exploration and specialization. More than half of the year is dedicated to the resident’s choice of electives and scholarship. Residents will continue to cultivate skills in the foundational areas of pediatrics with rotations in adolescent medicine, developmental and behavioral pediatrics, and community and advocacy experiences.

Our second year is designed to provide flexibility and further professional development as residents make important decisions about next steps and prepare for the possibility of entering the subspecialty application and interview process. We believe that by allowing our second year residents the opportunities to tailor the year using professional goals aligned with career destinations, they will ultimately grow into the roles of clinician, leader, and scholar. The program will promote these trajectories through innovative experiences in our LEAD the PACC curriculum enhancing the development of individuals and teams.

Third Year

During the third year of residency training, our residents will move from a stage of comfortable competency to an early mastery level in providing family-centered patient care. Residents will be providing evidence-based care that is developmentally and age appropriate, compassionate, and effective for the treatment of the diversity of acute and chronic conditions in pediatrics and the promotion of the health of infants, children and adolescents in multiple settings. Our senior residents will experience the professional development and growth involved with teaching, mentoring and leading teams of junior residents and medical students.

Third year residents will also return to several of the rotations they completed as first years with an emphasis on teaching, leadership, delivery of care, and continuous quality improvement. Third year residents will assume the responsibility for leading teams on the hospital service, neonatal and pediatric intensive care units and in the emergency department. The third year will also promote time for additional career development and individual preparation for future endeavors with approximately four months dedicated to electives and scholarship.

It is at this stage that our program leadership hopes to see the culmination of our LEAD the PACC curriculum as residents prepare to transition into the world of practice or fellowships and become future leaders in the many different areas and fields of pediatrics.
