Pediatric Residency Program
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 Bayview Medical 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. Elective experiences are available in tropical medicine (Puru, Haiti, Guyana), at the Indian Health Service site in Tuba City Arizona, and at the Baltimore City Health Department.
. . . . .and, we’re growing.
In the fall of 2011 The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center will move to the beautiful, new Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center at Johns Hopkins. This 12-story facility will house expanded NICU and PICU space, two expansive medical/surgical floors, a state-of-the art pediatric emergency department, and dedicated pediatric operating rooms and radiology equipment.
