Chair Welcome
The University of Rochester pediatrics learning environment is a fully integrated collaboration between the pediatricians of the University of Rochester Medical Center and their colleagues in clinical practice in the community. As a result, the interfaces between the outpatient and inpatient settings, between general practitioners and specialists, between community practice and academics are seamless. This means the sky is the limit for you as a trainee, whether your ultimate interests lie in academic pediatrics, clinical, basic, or translational research, or community pediatric practice. It ensures continuity of care for our patients and coordinated services for our families. The University of Rochester houses some of the world’s premier basic and clinical biomedical and socioeconomic researchers in interdisciplinary centers and adjacent, cutting-edge laboratory and clinical research facilities. This arrangement – with everything in close geographic proximity, with programmatic juxtaposition across departmental lines – makes intellectual interaction and translation of advances from the bench to the bedside and from the illness treatment setting to the prevention and wellness arena an everyday occurrence here. Come. Browse our web pages. Share our pride and excitement in our exemplary clinical services for children and families at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong and Rochester General Hospital.

What a wonderful time to embark upon a residency in pediatrics! Never before has the gap between biomedical research and clinical practice been so narrow. Never before have our creativity and collaborative spirit been so mission-critical as we forge health care solutions for children and their families challenged each by their own unique medical, psychological, and socioeconomic circumstances. As a pediatrics resident at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong and the University of Rochester Medical Center, you will be uniquely poised and mentored to provide state-of-the-art care today and apply the best that biomedical science has to offer to make tomorrow’s state-of-the-art even better than what is possible now.
