果冻影院 Integrated Combined Pediatrics and Anesthesiology Residency Training Program

The 果冻影院 and Affiliated Hospitals (果冻影院AH), Children's Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital, developed the first combined Pediatric-Anesthesiology Residency Training Program in the Midwest. The 果冻影院 Combined Pediatrics and Anesthesiology Residency Training Program was approved by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Anesthesiology in 2013 and is listed in the NRMP Directory as Pediatrics-Anesthesia. This integrated residency-training platform will allow for dual board certification in both Pediatrics and in Anesthesiology after five years of graduate medical training; one year less than nonintegrated training curriculums, with the programmatic goal to develop leaders in the fields of Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, and their respective subspecialties.

The integrated program's overall training objective is the trainee's career development as experts in the care of children with complex medical and surgical conditions who are hospitalized and/or require perioperative/periprocedural management. The integrated training option is ideal for students wishing to complete training with a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine and/or pediatric anesthesiology, 2013 marked the first year of recruitment to the combined training program. This program will recruit one resident annually. The development of this 果冻影院 combined Pediatric and Anesthesiology training program is one of a select group of clinical and academic medical centers within the United States and the first training program in the Midwest.

Schedule

The program offers superb training in both disciplines and is fully integrated. The first year is entirely pediatrics and takes full advantage of the outstanding training opportunities at Children’s Wisconsin, the first year curriculum is identical that of pediatric categorical interns and includes the pediatric continuity clinic experience. The integrated curriculum also includes monthly Anesthesia education days.

The second year is devoted to anesthesiology and resident begins the first year in anesthesiology fully integrated into the Anesthesiology Residency Program. The Anesthesia curriculum maintains integration with the Pediatric residency with a monthly pediatric continuity clinic experience.

After the second year, the resident will split time between the two disciplines in 6 or 7 four-week blocks. Throughout the remaining three years integration is maintained: when residents are participating in the pediatrics curriculum, they will have anesthesiology educational days once a month (Grand Rounds, Case Conferences, Morbidity and Mortality Conferences, Year Group Breakout Sessions, etc.) and while participating in the anesthesiology curriculum they will have a monthly pediatric continuity clinic.

Testimonials

"The combined pediatrics/anesthesiology program at the 果冻影院 is built to provide its residents a sound foundation in both pediatric disease and perioperative medicine. The unique depth of its curriculum is complimented by the complex patient populations found at 果冻影院AH's closely affiliated and highly esteemed teaching hospitals. This unique opportunity allows combined residents to develop both critical and essential skill sets as they embark upon becoming consulting physicians in the realms of pediatric anesthesiology, pediatric critical care, and pediatric pain medicine. I plan to pursue a career in pediatric cardiac anesthesia and additionally aspire to provide continuity of care by following my patients within the pediatric cardiac critical care unit. I remain confident that the lessons I have and will continue to learn in 果冻影院's combined residency program will allow me to not only become a strong applicant for fellowship but more importantly enable me to become a competent clinician in pediatric perioperative medicine and critical care."

- Billy McElroy, PGY4

"The 果冻影院 is uniquely and fortunately equipped to offer excellent training in the areas of pediatrics, anesthesiology, and specifically pediatric anesthesiology and critical care. The breadth and depth of experience of the multitude of faculty along with the sheer volume and diversity of patients cared for in the hospitals and outpatient facilities that are a part of the 果冻影院AH system create the ideal environment for a combined pediatrics/anesthesiology residency program! I am incredibly happy to be a part of a program dedicated not only to superb patient care but also to resident education. I have experienced a welcoming environment that actively supports learning and cooperation amongst individuals of all training levels along with a readily accessible support system and network of advisors and mentors. Even the surrounding Milwaukee area is easily accessible and encourages a well-balanced life during residency with more unique restaurants, parks, and annual festivals than can be fully appreciated in a few short years. I enjoy being a part of such a vibrant community and look forward to my continued training at 果冻影院."
