As the only children’s hospital in the Bronx, CHAM cares for a patient population magnitudes larger than similar intuitions in the New York City region, allowing us to make an incredible impact in the heart of the Bronx. Scroll through to see and learn more about our primary training site.

The pediatric ED at CHAM is one of the busiest in the region. Here our residents learn to provide immediate care for the sick and injured child. Residents of each year have equal opportunity to practice procedures, initiate the evaluation of complex and fascinating pathology, and learn the initial stabilization and resuscitation of acute patients. Fellowship-trained pediatric emergency medicine faculty and fellows work along side our residents 24-hours a day.

Three floors are home to our inpatient medical/surgical units. Here, residents play a key role on the hospital medicine and pediatric subspecialty teams with a focus on comprehensive family centered care. Senior residents develop critical skills as team leaders and clinical educators. Our hospitalists allow residents to gain graduated independence in their clinical decision making while still being accessible and supportive.

CHAM’s 26-bed Pediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU) provides care for critically ill children of all ages. During second- and third-year rotations, CHAM residents care for medical, surgical and cardiac patients. Our multidisciplinary teams allow residents to learn alongside pediatric intensive care attendings, fellows, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and nutritionists.

Our residents have their continuity clinic experience at one of three sites across the Bronx where they will build their primary care panel for the duration of residency. At the beginning of intern year, each resident is assigned a preceptor and a clinic day to allow for longitudinal relationships (as well as clinic dinners and celebrations!).

The Division of Academic General Pediatrics at CHAM hosts several community engagement events and programs to support patients and families who receive care at these practices.

Weiler Hospital is a short trip through the Bronx, just down the street from one of our resident continuity clinics, and houses Montefiore’s primary Newborn Nursery and Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Residents work along primary care pediatricians, Neonatologists, fellows, PA's, NP's and and a highly skilled NICU team of nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and nutritionists.

Residents are involved in the care of every patient in the nursery and NICU’s care, including deliveries, procedures and family meetings. Faculty are deeply invested in resident education and lead monthly debriefs for residents to share their experiences during their rotation in a safe and supportive environment.

As a premier academic medical center serving the Bronx, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, CHAM offers its residents comprehensive exposure to a broad diversity of patients and pathologies that prepare our trainees for any desired field.

Our Categorical Residency Program offers residents exposure to all aspects of pediatric medicine while they train in a number of settings. Deeply committed to promoting social justice in a diverse and inclusive atmosphere, our program allows all residents to grow in an environment that fosters critical thinking, graduated autonomy and advocacy.

For 50 years, our Social Pediatrics Residency Program has fulfilled its commitment to training pediatricians with a special interest in advocacy, health policy, social justice, research, community and public health. Today, our program remains focused on promoting the health of diverse communities, training future healthcare leaders and advocating for social justice through collaborative primary care delivery, education and research.

The Research Track in the Categorical Pediatrics Program is a new unique opportunity for learners with a demonstrated passion for the advancement of pediatrics through research. It provides a pathway to become an effective physician-scientist supported by 11 months of protected research time and the resources of the Children’s Hospital as well as the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
