Welcome to Pediatrics at the University of Chicago! We hope you will be inspired by the world-changing work we share with you in these pages. Our faculty and staff are local and international leaders in each of our three critical missions: providing the best care for children and families, training future leaders in medicine and science, and advancing the frontiers of science and medicine through cutting-edge basic and clinical investigation.

It is a unique moment in the history of healthcare, and we are uniquely poised to achieve great things. Breakthroughs in biomedical research, advances in technology, and brand-new clinical and research facilities allow us to bring together the world’s brightest and most innovative clinicians, physician-scientists and researchers to understand the drivers of health and the cures for disease.

The skills and passion of our faculty, staff and trainees, the guidance and support of our University and Hospitals leadership, together with the vision and commitment of great friends who through their generosity and enthusiasm have made it possible for us to invest in premier patient care and research facilities, allow us now to deliver on the University’s promise: The Greatest Good to the Largest Number.

Whether you are a trainee interested in our outstanding residency and fellowship programs, a graduate student in search of a discipline-leading mentor, a referring physician hoping to learn more about ways we can partner to provide the best care for children and families, a scientist eager to learn more about the innovative Institute for Molecular Pediatric Sciences, or a family member looking for the best doctors for your loved one, you have come to the right place!
