Continuity Clinic
One half day each week residents attend their own
outpatient primary care continuity clinic in either the Lincoln Park or Uptown
neighborhood. For three
years,
residents are primary care pediatricians for their
own panel of patients.
Special effort is made to ensure that residents' patients do not have an
excess of complex medical problems so that residents are able to focus on
providing well child care for relatively healthy children. By seeing patients on
the same day of the week over three years, residents are able to follow patients
through different stages of growth and development and form a long-lasting bond.
This is one of the most rewarding aspects of residency.
