Do residents get adequate pediatric care experience during their residency?
Residents get extensive inpatient and ER pediatric training at Childrens’ Regional Medical Center. Historically, pediatric care exposure in the continuity clinics had been a relative weakness of the program. However, the clinics launched a community-based marketing campaign to increase pediatric visits, as well as internal restructuring to enhance pediatric outpatient teaching and make the clinics more attractive to kids, and resident pediatric numbers have dramatically increased.
