Pediatric Education
As part of an academic medical institution and teaching hospital, Stony Brook Children’s offers programs for the training of the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric specialists.
Training the Next Generation of Children's Doctors
At Stony Brook, we offer a pediatric residency, plus a combined medicine and pediatrics training program that is uniquely suited for preparing physicians to provide a continuum of care for children with chronic disease.
In addition, we have pediatric fellowship programs that provide advanced clinical and research training in neonatology, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, endocrinology and academic general pediatrics, and are planning for a fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine.
These programs serve as a pipeline to provide the community with pediatric practitioners, especially important in light of the pediatrician shortages projected for Suffolk County in the near future.
Pediatric Residency Program
The broad and comprehensive pediatric training experience at Stony Brook Children’s provides residents with the strong educational and experiential foundation necessary to develop their own professional potential. Our graduates are poised to excel as leaders in general and subspecialty clinical and academic medicine, research and advocacy.
Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program
The mission of our Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program is to train versatile and resilient Med-Peds Residents to become future leaders, collaborators and educators in their field of primary or subspecialty care. We invest in the well-being of our socioeconomically diverse and complex patient population by practicing evidence based medicine and delivering compassionate care.
Pediatric Fellowship Programs
The Department of Pediatrics offers fellowship training programs in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Pediatric Infectious Diseases, and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine. Fellows act as consultants and teachers in the inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting the residents in their role as primary caretakers.
