Global Health Experience
Trainees have the opportunity to participate in international electives. In recent years, Cleveland Clinic Children's residents have completed rotations in locations including Cambodia, Haiti, India, Kuwait, Lebanon, Palestine, the Philippines, Thailand, and various countries in Africa.
Annual Pediatric Board Review Symposium
At Cleveland Clinic Children's, we are incredibly proud of our Annual Pediatric Board Review Symposium. This national event, held each year during the last week of August, is a comprehensive review course designed to prepare pediatric residents and practitioners for their board certification or re-certification exams. The symposium typically draws around 300 attendees from across the country.
As a special benefit, all graduating residents from our program receive a complimentary invitation to attend.
Simulation Center
Cleveland Clinic is at the forefront of medical education, with our state-of-the-art simulation training. We've recently expanded our Simulation Center Lab by 10,000 square feet, created two difficult airway centers, and renovated our task-based simulation lab.
This enhanced environment allows you to safely practice critical skills, preparing you to deliver the highest quality of care. Throughout your residency, you'll get at least three exposures to simulated emergencies each year, including sessions in the simulation lab, intern procedure lab, and mock codes. Many of these sessions are multidisciplinary, helping you to improve communication and teamwork—essential skills for any career in pediatrics.
