About the Program
Our mission as a pediatric training program is not only in providing quality medical care to the infants, children and adolescents entrusted in our care, but ensuring the physician’s health and wellness as they progress through the ups and downs of residency. Through our commitment to education and community, we work to foster an environment where mistakes are learned from, knowledge gaps are filled, and the desire to grow and improve is recognized as a life-long goal. In addition to this, we offer the following aspects to broaden the educational experience for our residents:
Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital
这是我们的主要培训站点，其中包括接受的培训的70％。它位于德克萨斯医学中心的中心，是世界著名卓越中心的所在地，包括全国排名的儿科心脏病学，心脏外科，儿科神经病学和神经外科。居民在该地点旋转小儿病房，多种亚科，NICU和PICU。
MD Anderson
这是我们针对肿瘤学的主要培训站点，包括接受的培训的10％。它也位于德克萨斯州医疗中心，是全美排名第一的肿瘤学中心。居民通过小儿肿瘤病房旋转，并有资格参加多种选修课，例如干细胞/BM移植和一般肿瘤学诊所。

该医院是休斯顿地区的两家社区医院之一，包括接受培训的20％。它位于休斯顿东北部，为需要优质医疗保健的人口提供了广泛的人口。居民在这里的时间里旋转NICU，托儿所和一般地板。

Our residency program is committed to the recruitment and retention of trainees who identify as underrepresented minorities in medicine based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, gender identity, or sexual orientation. This is in alignment with the mission of our institution to “provide the highest quality education and training of future physicians for the state of Texas, in harmony with the state’s diverse population”.
休斯顿是美国最多样化的城市之一，我们的患者群体反映了各种文化，种族和国籍的混合。因此，我们旨在培训一名多样化的医师劳动力，致力于减少和消除医疗保健差异。这是通过多系统方法从居民开始的，居民接受专门的研讨会，旨在启发居民对隐性偏见和刻板印象的概念，并解决改善盟友的方法。教师还接受了改善公平和包容性的培训，以及对其医学实践的影响。我们还采取了措施积极解决我们的招聘过程，以更加包含所有申请人。尽管我们在DEI领域取得了长足的进步，但我们认识到总是有改进的余地，并定期重新评估我们的流程以进行优化。

作为我们持续推动incorporatin的一部分g wellness into the curriculum, we have been successful in obtaining a wellness grant through the Andrew Weil Foundation. With support from both this grant and our incredible faculty and administration, we have constructed a wellness curriculum that includes speakers and activities to optimize the residency experience. Along with lecture based material in contract law, nutrition, and confronting signs of depression & anxiety, residents also receive protected time to participate in meditation, outdoor picnics, yoga, ropes courses, and culinary classes, at no additional cost to our residents.
