Medical College of Wisconsin Pediatric Residency Electives

Our elective experiences allow residents to explore specific interests in pediatrics while working with experts in their respective pediatric subspecialties. We also encourage interested house staff to utilize elective time to pursue opportunities in research, advocacy, and international health. This list is not all inclusive. We are frequently adding new electives and welcome resident input in developing additional electives if not currently available.
