Residents see patients in the Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic with a wide range of illnesses from the common cold to complex congenital heart disease.

Residents obtain a strong foundation in pediatric ambulatory care principals and practice, as well as a variety of emergencies in the urgent care area of the pediatric clinic.

Residents are the primary physicians performing initial evaluations and workup but faculty backup is readily available twenty-four hours a day. 

The Pediatric Emergency Room is located adjacent to the Adult Emergency Department. 

During the day, from 8am to 5pm, acutely ill pediatric patients are seen in the Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic, and only patients with trauma, patients actively seizing, patients in cardiopulmonary arrest, or patients arriving by ambulance are taken to the Main ER. 

The Pediatric ER then opens from 5pm to 8am on weekdays and 24 hours a day on the weekends and holidays with attending coverage by both pediatric and emergency medicine trained physicians. 

Residents and interns work a number of different shifts while on their PAC, PAC/ER, and ER rotations and therefore gain exposure to a wide variety of common pediatric problems, acute illnesses, and trauma.
