Residencies

The Residency Program at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh has a long, rich history and several distinguishing features:

  • The program is based at an internationally recognized center for pediatric care, ranked #8 in the 2023 US News and World Report ratings of children's hospitals. 
  • Residents receive special, highly-individualized attention from an exceptional team of faculty experts.
  • Clinical experience features a remarkable volume and variety of pediatric diagnoses. Since Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in the region, our residents take part in an extraordinary breadth of pediatric medical problems.
  • Residents are mentored by role models who have been successful in academic pediatrics and develop a diverse team of advisors during their training.
