Phoenix Children's Pediatric Residency Program Alliance is a comprehensive, fully-accredited, three-year program. It combines experiences at a major multi-specialty children’s hospital (Phoenix Children’s) and a large public medical center (Valleywise Health Medical Center). Set in a multi-cultural location our residents are given the opportunity to work with Native American, Hispanic and diverse refugee populations.

Children are transferred to our hospitals from all over Arizona. The patient referral base provides our residents with an abundance of clinical experiences. Representing all areas of general and subspecialty pediatrics, the faculty is highly trained committed and very accessible to the house staff. There is a strong emphasis on teaching among both faculty and residents, with camaraderie and a pervasive team spirit throughout the program.

Residents at all levels of training, as well as faculty, are available to share information about our training programs.

Hospitals

Phoenix Children’s is a state of the art tertiary care standalone children’s hospital. As Arizona’s first standalone children’s hospital it has long been a leader in providing quality care to both primary care patients and children with significant medical needs. Staff and faculty from all major pediatric surgical and medical subspecialties work at the Hospital, and the Hospital is a tertiary care center for the rest of Arizona. During residency significant exposure to subspecialty pediatrics will occur while at Phoenix Children's.
