Chief Residents

Each year, two exceptional third year residents are selected to be Chief Residents for the following academic year. They are responsible for organizing the educational program and they participate actively in the teaching process.

Committee of Interns and Residents

All Jacobi Residents are members of the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR), the nation's largest housestaff union. CIR directly negotiates housestaff contracts and provides many services to the residents.

Alumni

Alumni from the program have pursued careers in general pediatrics, subspecialty care, and public health. The department strives to maintain a diversity of career interests and is particularly proud of the success of graduates in many different fields; approximately half of our residents choose to pursue fellowships (the national average). They have been accepted at the finest programs and have been well prepared for future careers in research, service, or child advocacy.
