The St.Vincent Pediatric Residency program was established in 2007. Although the Pediatric Residency is a new program, medical education has been part of the heritage of St.Vincent for over 120 years. The new Pediatric Residency joined the well established primary care programs of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and OB/GYN.
Our residents work in three different facilities on the main St.Vincent Campus:
- Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent - This facility is dedicated to serving the unique needs of children and adolescents. It houses 46 general pediatric beds and 15 PICU beds. It is also home to the Hilbert Pediatric Emergency Department which is staffed by Emergency Medicine physicians specially trained in Pediatrics to give more appropriate care to our young patients.
- The Women’s Hospital at St.Vincent - This hospital is dedicated to the care of women and their newborns. This is the home of the states largest NICU, with 85 beds. Ten of these beds compose the Continuing Care Nursery and are dedicated to those infants requiring a level of care above the normal newborn nursery but not an intensive care setting.
- Joshua Max Simon Primary Care Center - Opened in 2007, this buildings the home of the Pediatric Primary Care Clinic. The pediatric clinic sees an average of 500 patients a week and is staffed by dedicated pediatricians, an adolescent medicine pediatrician, a developmental pediatrician and a pediatric psychiatrist. The resident continuity clinics take place in this setting. First and second year residents have one half day a week of continuity clinic with the third year residents scheduled for two half day clinics per week.
