The University of Cincinnati Department of Pediatrics consists entirely of staff members from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, one of the nation’s leading pediatric research and teaching institutions.

The department includes Cincinnati Children’s in-house physicians, researchers and other individuals who hold academic appointments at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
