 | Resident Life  Curriculum & Schedule Salary & Perks | | | WELCOME!  We are delighted that you are interested in the pediatric residency
program at Columbia University and the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
of New York (CHONY). Our curriculum is designed to provide the trainee with
an exceptional foundation in pediatrics and permit the interested resident to
pursue diverse and enriching experiences in research, advocacy, community
pediatrics, or global health. Our trainees are well prepared to enter practice
or to undertake further postgraduate training.
The Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York opened in November 2003, continuing the 120-year legacy of Babies Hospital. We are the newest and largest family-centered children's hospital in
New York and one of the largest in the United States. Today's Department of Pediatrics at Columbia
University continues its long tradition of excellence. Rated among the top ten programs by U.S. News
and World Report, we have an exceptionally talented faculty with expertise in all areas of pediatrics.
Our faculty are renowned for their clinical expertise, their scientific contributions, their commitment to
education, and their dedication to children.
Our clinical services encompass all pediatric medical and surgical specialties, including technologically
sophisticated programs such as neonatology, critical care, cardiology, transplantation, and genetics.
Our pediatric emergency medicine program is one of the busiest in the county and will occupy a
new state-of-the-art facility in 2010. Our outstanding community pediatrics program, a model of joint
academic-community partnership, serves children in the Washington Heights-Inwood community and
provides care at five neighborhood-based clinics. The knowledge and skills gained at all of these venues
and the mentorship afforded by committed faculty combine to provide for a rich and comprehensive
training experience.
All this, plus New York City! New York remains the most exciting city in the world. It attracts the best and
brightest from across the country, as does our residency program. In their free time, our trainees take
advantage of the myriad of opportunities provided by the city. You too will enjoy the same opportunities.
The goal of the Department of Pediatrics has not changed in 120 years; we are here to make a difference
in the lives of children. If you share this commitment, you should visit and learn more about residency
