Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, jointly with Winthrop University Hospital, is proud to offer an outstanding residency program in Pediatrics. Having both Osteopathic and Allopathic accreditation allows our residents the opportunity to become Board Certified in Pediatrics, by both the AOA and the ACGME.

Our residents work under the supervision of private pediatricians as well as with full-time hospital based pediatricians and sub-specialists while providing quality patient care. The residency faculty are dedicated teachers who conduct daily teaching rounds, noon conferences, and other formal and informal academic experiences. A multitude of electives are offered so that residents may further explore additional areas of interest.

The newly renovated pediatric floor is a 36-bed unit with state-of-the-art equipment and technologies. The adjacent Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is where acutely ill patients are managed under the supervision of pediatric intensivists. The clinical experience is further enriched by the dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department that is staffed by pediatric emergency medicine physicians. Both institutions have a level III NICU, which affords the opportunity to care for the critically ill newborn.

The Martin Luther King Jr., Community Health Center is the location of our continuity-of-care clinic. Here, providing care to an underserved patient population enriches the educational experience. Each patient encounter is viewed as a teaching opportunity with a detailed discussion of medical and social issues.

As a pediatric resident you will feel comfortable learning in this friendly teaching environment. We pride ourselves in offering residents diverse clinical experiences, extraordinary teaching and the broadest range of patient services.

The program helps develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become exceptional and versatile pediatricians who are qualified to provide the finest medical care to pediatric patients and to pursue a career academic medicine.
