Welcome from our Chief Residents
Thank you for your interest in Cincinnati Children’s—we’re so glad you’re here! On behalf of our entire pediatric residency program, welcome! We know choosing a residency is an important and personal decision, and we’re excited to share what makes our program and community so special.
Our mission is to create a supportive training environment where residents can grow into exceptional pediatricians while feeling valued and encouraged. Although Cincinnati Children’s is a large institution, our residency program has a close-knit, family feel. We are proud of the many backgrounds and perspectives represented within our community, and we hope you begin to feel that sense of belonging throughout your interview experience. Although interviews will be virtual this year, we hope the warmth and camaraderie of our program still shine through.
As the only pediatric hospital serving the greater Cincinnati area, we care for a broad and diverse patient population. Our residents gain experience caring for children with common pediatric concerns as well as highly complex conditions that bring families to Cincinnati from across the country and around the world. With strong continuity clinics, extensive subspecialty exposure, and a wide variety of electives, you will have the flexibility and support to shape your training around your interests and career goals.
Learning at Cincinnati Children’s also extends beyond the clinical setting. Residents can pursue meaningful opportunities in areas such as research, advocacy, medical education, and quality improvement. Whatever your interests may be, you will find mentors and colleagues who are eager to help you explore them.
Cincinnati is a wonderful place to call home. It offers the energy and amenities of a larger city while remaining affordable, approachable, and easy to navigate. Whether you enjoy spending time outdoors, trying new restaurants, attending local events and festivals, cheering on your favorite sports teams, or relaxing with friends, there is plenty to make Cincinnati feel like home.
We are truly excited for you to learn more about our program, our residents, and the city we love. We hope you will consider joining our Cincinnati Children’s family, and we cannot wait to meet you!
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions along the way. We are happy to help and grateful for the opportunity to get to know you.
