Pediatrics Residency Program

Greetings to you from the Morehouse School of Medicine Community Pediatric Residency Training Program. We’re glad that you want to learn more about us. We hope that as you explore our website, you will see our commitment to the community at large as well as to underserved populations.

Atlanta is a very diverse city. There are children from across the globe here with different cultures and languages and we have the privilege of caring for them.

Morehouse’s Pediatric Residency Program is a small program but we are located in a large city. The personal engagement that a small program offers along with the patient volumes and complexities of a larger city program make Morehouse an ideal training program for many.
