The Harriet Lane Pediatric
Residency Program at Johns Hopkins has a long history of preparing
pediatricians for varied careers in child health. Our graduates have become successful
community pediatricians, pediatric hospitalists, and subspecialists; and they
have also gone on to careers in public health, global health, health policy,
and health administration. It is our
goal to provide residents with robust clinical experiences, exposure to a wide
array of dedicated faculty, and an increasing level of independence and
responsibility so that our graduates are confident in their ability to meet the
challenges of whatever area of child health they hope to pursue. We are particularly proud of the leadership
skills our program fosters among our senior residents, who are given a great
deal of responsibility for teaching and for independence in patient management.
Harriet Lane residents provide
continuity care for patients in the Harriet Lane Clinic and the largely Spanish-speaking patients in the
Pediatric Clinic at BayviewMedical Center. They manage
common pediatric medical and surgical illnesses as well as complex subspecialty
conditions on the general inpatient teams at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and at St. Agnes
Hospital. In addition,
they experience the very complex and technology-intensive world of the
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A wide variety of elective experiences is
available.
. . . . .and, we’re growing.
