The oldest provider of pediatric services in Boston, Mass General Hospital for Children (MGHfC) has provided comprehensive, compassionate care to children since 1821. The mission of the MGHfC Pediatric Residency Program is to develop independent, innovative pediatric leaders through education and personalized mentorship in a supportive academic training program. We are committed to excellence in family-centered clinical care, research, and advocacy. Our training program teaches residents to provide state-of-the-art patient care in diverse settings. Residents see both common and rare presentations of pediatric illnesses on our 44-bed pediatric inpatient floors, 27-bed well infant nursery, and 17-bed special care nursery. They then learn how to care for children who require more specialized or intensive care when they rotate through our state-of-the-art 21-bed Level III NICU and 14-bed PICU at MGHfC. The MGHfC Pediatric Emergency Department is also an incredible learning environment as the only center in the region with simultaneous designations as a Level I adult trauma and burn center and Level I pediatric trauma center.
