Chief Residents
The key educational, clinical and administrative leaders for the housestaff are the Chief Residents. Each year three members of the graduating class are selected and remain for an additional year to fulfill this vital role. They are appointed to the faculty as Instructors of Pediatrics in order to serve at an attending level in the clinical aspect of their role. Their clinical service includes time as General Pediatrics Inpatient Attending on the inpatient ward service at LPCH and SCVMC, General Pediatrics Clinic Attending, and Teaching Attending. They share responsibilities for educational initiatives and administrative issues throughout their year of service. Interacting with faculty, housestaff, and hospital administration, the Chief Residents act as liaisons and leaders.

We have been fortunate to place residents in top fellowship positions, superb pediatric practices, and exciting hospitalist positions. Many graduates tend to stay in the Bay Area following completion of their training.
Approximately half of our graduates pursue general pediatrics careers with many working as pediatric hospitalists and the remainder working in primary care pediatrics groups or entering general academic pediatrics fellowships. Several of our former residents are involved in leadership positions in the Department of Pediatrics. The other half of graduating residents enter subspecialty fellowships, specialty residencies, specialized hospitalist work, or emergency room positions.
