Pediatrics: Residency

Continuity Clinic

Our residents have a weekly half day continuity clinic where the basics of well-child care and preventative pediatric medicine are learned. Residents can attend an inner-city clinic staffed by department faculty (the Downtown Health Center) or one of multiple community pediatric practices in Milwaukee and its suburbs.

Downtown Health Center

• Residents serve a traditionally disadvantaged population
• Residents establish close relationships with multiple patients and their families
• Residents are excused from all other patient care responsibilities when in clinic
• Clinic is approximately 10 minutes from Main Children’s Hospital Site
• Approximately 1/3 of residents have continuity at the DHC

Community Pediatrics Practices

• Residents are mentored by full-time or part-time community pediatrician
• Many preceptors are former graduates of the MCW/CHW pediatric residency program
• Many preceptors are part of Childrens Medical Group associated with the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin (http://www.childrensmedicalgroup.org)
• Residents establish close relationships with multiple patients and their families
• Residents are excused from all other patient care responsibilities when in clinic
