The UMass Chan Medical School-Baystate Pediatric Residency Program is designed to develop our residents into the best pediatricians they can be and to prepare them for life-long learning. Our Children's Hospital, within the largest tertiary care hospital in western Massachusetts, is the primary source for pediatric care in the region. We have the best of all worlds, combining tertiary care with a strong primary care and community focus in a very supportive environment.
