About This Program
Our residents enjoy the advantage of working in two world-class facilities: UNMC's large university hospital setting and Children Nebraska's free-standing pediatric hospital. There are clinical, educational, and research opportunities at each site. Additionally, our residents have access to institutional resources through the Child Health Research Institute, which provides support, collaboration opportunities and potential funding for pediatric-focused scholarly projects. -Residents follow an individualized learning plan that guides their educational experience based on personal career goals and interests.
