Areas of Focus

All pediatric residents receive foundational training in research principles and quality improvement through a longitudinal research curriculum. We establish mentoring relationships for trainees with invested and engaging faculty throughout the research process.

Advocacy

Our program believes that to be a Pediatrician is to be an advocate for children. Our residents receive training in the skills of advocacy and community engagement. Arkansas Children’s Hospital is uniquely situated across the street from our state’s capital. Our residents have the opportunity to see child health policy in action and meet with legislatures and lobbyists when in session.
