Research opportunities
Children's Memorial Hospital seeks to encourage the development of pediatric
physician/scientists by recruiting MD/PhD candidates and other candidates with
strong research interests into its residency training program. The program
offers flexibility in scheduling activities and appropriate mentoring for those
interested in pursuing an academic pediatric career.
A central component of the program is the Children's Memorial Research
Center (CMRC). One of only five institutions in the U.S.
dedicated exclusively to pediatric research, CMRC is designed to link Children's
Memorial's proven clinical expertise with the strength of outstanding basic
research. In addition to the role CMRC plays in incubating new biomedical
advancements, it also provides an excellent training ground for physicians
interested in laboratory investigation.
To facilitate career development, the Department of Pediatrics
participates in Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine's Physician-Scientist
Training Program.
