Pediatric Residency Program

Sites and Hours

Rotation Sites

The University of Maryland Hospital serves as the primary site for clinical training. Residents also spend five of the 36 months at Mercy Medical Center. Full-time faculty from our department based at Mercy supervise and teach housestaff during the training experience there.

Work Duty Hours

Our program is compliant with the ACGME duty hours policy.

Residents take call every fourth night during most inpatient rotations. "Night Float" experiences are limited to weeklong stints as the senior resident covering the inpatient ward. During rotations in the emergency department, residents work 12-hour shifts. There are five rotations during your three years of training where no call is required, including two call-free electives where residents have the chance to do a rotation in a hospital or clinic in another location - even out of the country.
