Hi I'm interested in doing med-peds combined program. I have a particular interest in pediatrics. Does anyone know of med-peds programs with a strong pediatric component. Thanks! :)

Does anyone know of med-peds programs with a strong pediatric component. Thanks! :) Mr. Whiskers 03-18-2008, 08:27 AM I'm not sure what exactly you mean by a 'strong pedriatic component'. Med-Peds curricula are now standardized according to ACGME requirements, so mandatory peds rotations will be similar at all med-peds programs. There are definitely med-peds programs affiliated with categorical pediatric programs that are 'top' programs by reputation, if that is what you are getting at. Here are some: Penn-Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Brigham-Boston Children's Baylor-Texas Children's Case-Rainbow Babies Cincinnati Ohio State-Nationwide Children's UPMC-Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Michigan-C.S. Mott Vanderbilt Indiana Utah-Primary Children's Duke UCLA-Mattel Children's UCSD Minnesota Medical College of Wisconsin-Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and probably some more I can't recall right now. This list is in no way intended to reflect med-peds programs offering the 'best' peds training, whatever that means! ;) DrThom 03-20-2008, 01:54 PM Hi I'm interested in doing med-peds combined program.
