General Pediatrics Residency Program

Our Philosophy and Goals

The Pediatric Residency Program at the University of California, Irvine recognizes the provision of medical care for children is privilege as well as a responsibility. We extend an opportunity to aspiring pediatricians who are equally committed to this philosophy. Pediatric residency integrates patient care, didactic teaching, and research to fulfill this fundamental mission. Training in pediatrics focuses on the total care of the child from birth through young adulthood. We provide a strong clinical and educational foundation through experiences with a broad spectrum of pathology, as well as normal development, preventive healthcare, and use of community resources.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide high-quality patient care in a manner that supports the education and research programs of the UCI School of Medicine.

Our Vision

We are an organization dedicated to continuously improving quality care and organizational performance.

We are a financially sound clinical organization that provides for the continuum of care necessary to fulfill the mission of the UCI School of Medicine.

We are a recognized leader in providing for the advancement of medical care through our teaching and research activities.

Our Success

The goal of this program is to provide residents with a solid clinical base for the practice of pediatrics. Of equal importance, the program is designed to foster the development of the learning skills necessary to keep pace with the rapid changes in medical science. Clinical experiences in university-based and private children's hospital settings ensure exposure to a diverse patient population and a broad range of diseases. Because of the well rounded curriculum offered to our residents, our board pass rate is one of the highest in the nation. The success of our graduates in securing excellent fellowship and job opportunities further attests to the quality of our residency program.
