Georgetown Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program Features

• Accessible Med-Peds trained faculty who are dedicated to resident education and clinical teaching.  Our program directors seek resident feedback regularly and are dedicated to making Georgetown Med-Peds an unbeatable training experience. 
   

• Strong Ambulatory training in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, based on a four-year Med-Peds continuity clinic which is centrally located within the hospital campus and supervised exclusively by Med-Peds trained faculty.  Our continuity clinic features a new and fully functioning EMR system which is integrated with Georgetown subspecialty practices allowing efficient coordination of care.  Our Med-Peds clinic site also functions as a “home away from home” for our residents who look forward to reuniting with peers during their weekly afternoon clinic.  Organized daily pre-clinic conferences provide up to date reviews of med-peds topics, and monthly lunch meetings feature more in-depth presentations by rotating fourth-year medical students.
   

• Ability to complete rotations at distinguished national research institutions including the NIH and FDA.
   

• Residents benefit from seamless integration into our parent programs, but maintain a unique identity as Med-Peds residents in a smaller, close-knit Med-Peds “family.”  Both parent departments have consistently demonstrated support and regard for Med-Peds and our residents, and we feel equally engaged in the academic and social communities of both parent departments. 
   

• Ample opportunity exists for International Health Experiences in both Medicine and Pediatrics.  Faculty experienced in the field of International Health are accessible and eager to mentor our residents. 
   

• Our residents care for a truly unique and diverse patient population.  Rotations include training at the modern Virginia Hospital Center, the Washington DC VA Hospital, Inova Fairfax Hospital, Washington Hospital Center, Shady Grove Hospital and the National Institutes of Health.  While our training remains centered at Georgetown, we benefit from training in University, Community, and government hospitals serving patients from a broad spectrum of socioeconomic, ethnic and religious backgrounds.  One feature that unites all of our training sites is their unique dedication to resident and student education.
   

• Excellent Adult and Pediatric Hematology-Oncology experiences at Georgetown’s  Lombardi Cancer Center, a designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
   

• Uniquely located within our nation’s capital, our program offers organized opportunities within both parent departments to get involved in health policy and patient advocacy. 
   

• Support and training that encourages equally the pursuit of careers in Primary Care, Subspecialty Fellowships, Research, or Hospitalist Practice.  Our graduates do it all!
   

• Along with Med-Peds faculty, our dedicated Med-Peds chief residents serve as advocates and mentors for our residents throughout their four years.  One factor that truly sets our program apart is the degree to which support and guidance is available to Med-Peds residents.  We find mentors easily within our own program and amongst our parent program faculty. 
   

• If it's possible to run out of things to do in DC, VA, and MD – Georgetown is easily accessible to NYC, Philadelphia, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Atlantic Coast beaches and International airports.  We enjoy professional, collegiate, and pick-up athletics, unbeatable museums, a variety of nightlife to meet everyone’s taste, great restaurants and limitless social and cultural activities within DC and the surrounding areas.
