Research

Our division is involved in multiple quality, process and systems improvement projects to find better ways to care for hospitalized children and families.

Education

We are preparing medical students and residents to offer the most up-to-date and compassionate care to children and families. Our trainees have opportunities to work with diverse patient populations and with a wide variety of pediatric subspecialists, and learn to care for the entire spectrum of pediatric patients, from those with simple colds to complex clinical syndromes.
