Program Overview
Welcome to the St. Vincent Medical Center Pediatric Residency Program. This is a three-year program with continued accreditation by ACGME. We are currently approved to accept four new residents per year. Our mission is to provide a diverse experience with evidence-based education that prepares residents for the current challenges in pediatrics.
We prepare our residents to provide competent, compassionate care, which is comprehensive and continuous from childhood through adolescence to young adulthood.
