Pediatrics Residency Graduates

77% First Time Pass Rate on the Board Exam

Our graduates have done quite well on the American Board of Pediatrics Certifying Examination. Over the last 10 years, 77% have passed the examination as first-time takers.

New Initiative to Raise Pass Rate to 100%

Starting two years ago, we have a new initiative to bring our pass rate to 100%. This includes integration of PREP questions in Morning Report and all subspecialty rotations, Faculty Board Review monthly, January through June Intensive Board Review with Chief Residents 3 days a week and Intensive Individualized Study Plans for at-risk residents.

Our Grads Successfully Obtain Fellowships of Their Choice

About half of our graduates go on to fellowship training in a pediatric subspecialty, and half go into general pediatrics practice, although this varies year-to-year.

In the last 15 years, our graduates have entered fellowships at institutions such as Boston University, Children’s Hospital Boston, Children's Hospital Philadelphia, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Duke University, Johns Hopkins, MGH, Pittsburgh, UC San Diego, University of North Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Yale, in subspecialties from Alternative and Complementary Medicine to Critical Care, from Neonatology to Sports Medicine, from Emergency Medicine to Hematology/Oncology. (See Fellowships tab below for more information.)
