From Our Program Director:
The Tulane Pediatric Residency Program firmly believes in creating a dynamic learning environment that improves pediatric medical education, provides opportunities for community engagement and creates well-trained pediatricians.
Tulane physicians have been caring for the people of New Orleans and the surrounding areas since 1834. Our complex history is filled with examples when we have proudly served our community, and painful examples that we still have work to do. We regularly recommit to developing and growing a workforce that reflects the rich culture and history found in the unique community of the New Orleans area. We dedicate ourselves to recognizing opportunities for growth and advocating for change.
As a program, we will invest our efforts into recruiting, supporting and training a physician workforce that includes doctors who represent the various facets of our community. We understand the importance of providing a respectful learning environment and learning through collaboration. As a program, specifically, and a department, more broadly, we foster an environment where our residents feel supported, mentored and are provided with opportunities for professional advancement. We believe in utilizing one another's strengths and talents to better serve the children living in our vibrant community.
We thank you for your interest in our program, and we readily welcome those who are ready to get to work, caring for our children & families!
