Overview

As a program, we are deeply committed to the professional and personal growth of our residents. Our comprehensive curriculum aims to prepare excellent pediatricians who are competitive fellowship candidates and equally confident in entering practice following graduation. We strive to address the growing challenges facing pediatric physicians, and as such, have emphasized patient advocacy, quality improvement and mental health as key aspects of our training. Carilion Children’s partnership with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine allows residents to collaborate with other professionals on world-class research opportunities.
