Children's National Medical Center's educational mission is to support the highest standard of excellence in caring for children by preparing pediatric caregivers, both within and beyond our walls, to practice outstanding pediatric medicine in the 21st century.
Children's National offers graduate medical education in the form of general pediatric residency training, pharmacy practice residency training and fellowships in a variety of pediatric specialties. Our training is backed by a very committed group of faculty educators and cutting edge research.
Children's Research Institute (CRI) continues to grow and receive significant grant funding. Proving our excellence in research, Children's National houses one of the few NIH-funded Pediatric Clinical Research Centers in the nation. The CRI is also is one of only six Child Health Research Centers supporting the development of pediatrician-scientists funded by the NIH.
Even beyond our superb faculty and impressive research efforts, our setting in Washington, DC further enhances the graduate medical education training experience by providing a broad patient population that is often international in scope. Our location in the nation's capital offers trainees opportunities to observe and participate in child advocacy initiatives beyond those seen at most children´s hospitals. Finally, Children's close proximity to the National Institutes of Health oftentimes augments research efforts.
Children's National training programs have developed rapidly in the past 20 years, becoming one of the most respected and most desired pediatric training centers in the country. We believe our current residents and fellows would agree that Children's National is one of the top centers for graduate medical education in the United States and we whole-heartedly welcome your interest in our residency and fellowship training programs.
