Making pediatrics residency training a community affair.
A successful community pediatrics residency training program was created through a university/community hospital affiliation agreement. Residents get firsthand experience with children on an ambulatory basis through the special office rotation program, and they are exposed to a broad panorama of pediatrics that is not primarily tertiary in nature. Residents also become familiar with community hospital settings--the facilities that they will use most often in their careers.
