Medicine-Pediatrics Residency

Thank you for your interest in our program. We just celebrated our 22nd year. Since 1989, the Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program has trained physicians to care for all people in primary care, hospital or in subspecialty settings. Residents work closely with our faculty to develop competence and excellence in both specialties for dual board certification. Our residents are very comfortable treating patients with both acute care and chronic care needs, as well as with preventive medicine and well visits. Our residents are described as intelligent, enthusiastic, compassionate and great teachers.

The Medicine and Pediatrics components are both strong and have diverse patient populations with our vast referral bases from Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. Our residents train in both community and tertiary care settings, including Alfred I. du Pont Hospital for Children. Our Medicine-Pediatrics program is uniquely sponsored by Jefferson Medical College. We are Jefferson Medical College's Med-Peds Program.

There are generally four appointments each year to our program. We have 24 Med-Peds physicians and interested pediatricians and internists who are vested in the program. We have a challenging but flexible curriculum that will meet your individual present and future goals of primary care, fellowship or academics. We welcome your interest and invite you to take a closer look at our exciting Medicine-Pediatrics program and family.

This year, we opened a primary-care (transition care) practice for young adults with special health care needs.

Our Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education and received a five-year cycle (the longest cycle) with no citations.

Four appointments are offered each year to the four year Med-Peds program. Med-Peds interns work very closely with the approximately 10 categorical Internal Medicine interns, 22 Pediatric interns, three Combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine interns, four preliminary and six transitional interns.
