A message from the Program Directors & Chairman

We appreciate your interest in the Pediatric Residency Training Program at the University of Utah. Our program has a proud tradition of camaraderie and collaboration among housestaff, faculty, and community practitioners. This tradition, along with academic excellence and our commitment to training pediatricians for successful careers in primary care or pediatric subspecialties, combine to make Utah an outstanding choice for pediatric training.

We continue to be in the midst of an exciting period in Utah pediatrics. One of the more stable economies in the nation has led to a growing state and a rapidly expanding patient base. An innovative housestaff curriculum provides opportunities for a variety of career paths within the residency. To these are added: a beautiful and modern children's hospital on the University campus; continuous growth in the size and excellence of our faculty; and a vibrant integration between community pediatrics and our academic mission.

We hope you will visit Utah and experience first hand our genuine excitement about our residency program and our department.

Sincerely,

Edward B. Clark, M.D.
