Specialized Individual Tracks

Individualized tracks are typically chosen during the end of the PL2 year except for the Community Advocacy Track which is chosen at the middle of the PL1 year. Phoenix Children's Pediatric Residency Program Alliance offers five tracks:

  • Global/Rural Health: The mission of this track is to equip physician leaders with an awareness of the healthcare issues faced by children in the developing world and the ability to apply those concepts to the care of the underserved in the United States. Requirements are one rotation which requires travel to an approved local or international underserved site, and may include involvement with the PCH Mobile Medical Unit (Crews’n Health Mobile), Bill Holt HIV clinic, Department of Public Health, Indian Health Services or Tuba City or the refugee clinic. We also offer a border health rotation in Douglas, AZ which borders Sonora, MX.
  • Community Advocacy: Created for residents interested in promoting child health and reducing child health disparities through engagement in community-based or legislative advocacy projects in collaboration with local, state and/or national partners. Requirements during the PL2 and PL3 year are that one resident longitudinal experience clinic per month and one week during the Community Rotation is dedicated to advocacy and an individualized Advocacy Project.
