When Miami Children’s began training future
pediatricians in 1962, gas was 25 cents a gallon
and movie tickets cost a mere 50 cents. More
than 50 years have gone by and Miami Children’s
Hospital’s pediatric teaching program has grown
to become the largest in the Southeast, providing
top-quality training for 84 pediatric residents and
33 subspecialty fellow trainees annually in 10
pediatric subspecialties.
Pediatricians and subspecialists who received training
at Miami Children’s are now practicing throughout the
nation and in countries around the world.
Highlights of the 2013 training program include:
• Miami Children’s residency program
continues to boast the highest
American Board of Pediatrics (ABP)
pass rate among programs in the state
of Florida.
• Sixty-two percent of the 2013
residency program graduates went
on to accept prestigious subspecialty
fellowships.
• Equally important, 38 percent of the
2013 graduates went on to pursue
careers in primary-care pediatrics,
with several securing positions right
here in the South Florida community.
Miami Children’s also supports the pediatric
community by keeping practitioners informed
of the latest developments in the field of
pediatrics. For 49 years, the hospital has hosted
“Perspectives in Pediatrics,” the longest-standing
pediatric postgraduate course in the nation. More
than 800 pediatricians from all over the world
come to South Florida annually to participate in
this renowned program, which features experts
from all over the world.
