Advancing Academic Pediatrics
Children’s National is committed to training the pediatric workforce necessary to meet the future needs of all of our patients and families. The Advancing Academic Pediatrics Program is a funded opportunity for fourth-year medical students applying to pediatrics to rotate at Children’s National in Washington, D.C., and gain exposure to academic pediatrics at a large, freestanding children’s hospital. Our scholars receive supplemental mentorship, networking opportunities with current residents, as well as a stipend to offset the costs of travel and housing.
Continuing Education Options
Children’s National is proud to announce that we have achieved Joint Accreditation, an ability to provide continuing education across professions. Through the Joint Accreditation team, continuing educational activities are available for physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, pharmacy techs, psychologists and social workers in addition to many interprofessional activities where team members plan together to learn together.
CE credits are available for Grand Rounds, Professorial Rounds and many divisional and local conferences online.
