General Pediatrics/Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Program Overview

The combined program is a five-year residency offered by Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) and Nemours Children鈥檚 Hospital, Delaware.

As a resident in this program, you'll spend the first year in pediatrics as an intern doing all the same rotations as the categorical pediatric residents, with the exception of one month of pediatric rehabilitation. The next two years are divided evenly between the programs, and in years four and five there is progressively more rehabilitation medicine and less pediatrics.听

During the program, you can expect to:

  • Begin pediatric rehabilitation training in your first year.
  • After your first year, alternate between the continuity clinic (a primary pediatrics office run by residents and supervised by attending) and follow-up practice for children who were discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit.
  • Continue pediatrics through the beginning of your fifth year to keep up your skills.
  • Be eligible to sit for the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation examinations after completing residency.

Program Components

Pediatrics
Nemours Children鈥檚 Hospital, Delaware, an operating entity of the Nemours Foundation, serves as the primary teaching hospital for the pediatric residency program. The hospital has a full-time and community-based faculty of 465, consisting of general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists representing all disciplines. The residency program emphasizes balance, diversity and flexibility. It is designed to provide the resident with exposure to a wide variety of pediatric pathology and patient care environments including urban, suburban and rural pediatric populations.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
The purpose of the Rehabilitation Medicine Residency Program at Thomas Jefferson University is to prepare physicians to excel in all aspects of the field. The faculty, in conjunction with the residents, have designed a program that exposes the physiatrist-in-training to broad and varied learning experiences, a diverse patient population, and state-of-the-art treatments in all aspects of the specialty. The individual teaching between nationally and internationally known attendings and resident physicians is considered one of the most differentiating features of the program.

The Combined Program
This unique residency program provides residents with the knowledge and skills to provide proactive medical management to pediatric patients with disabilities. Established in 1996, this combined program encourages residents to take advantage of the extensive resources and learning opportunities available within both residency training programs. Upon completion, residents are triple-board eligible (General Pediatrics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Pediatric Rehabilitation).
