The Department of Pediatrics is comprised of 180 pediatric physicians, and other health care professionals practicing in over 30 pediatric specialties. Our faculty provide care for more than 400,000 children throughout Long Island in our new state-of-the-art Children’s Hospital and affiliated offices in Suffolk County.
We have robust, competitive ACGME-accredited residency training programs in Pediatrics, Medicine-Pediatrics, and Child Neurology, as well as fellowship training programs in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Pediatric Infectious Disease, and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine. Residents and fellows are trained to apply evidence-based medicine to the clinical care of children. Residency and fellowship curriculum include training beyond the clinical medicine and include patient safety and quality improvement education, communication, procedural training, and research methodologies.
Our faculty, residents, and fellows all play an important role in the education of medical students from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, visiting medical students, undergraduate students, master’s and doctoral level students, and trainees in the other four Schools of the Health Sciences. The department’s education efforts for medical students are extensive. The Clerkship in Pediatrics is a required course that is conducted year-round in six-week blocks for all third-year medical students in the School of Medicine. The Sub-internship in Pediatrics is a rigorous four-week clinical experience designed to expand clinical responsibility beyond that of the clinical clerk. Elective experiences are available in all fields of Pediatrics at Stony Brook Children’s.
Our expert faculty lead cutting-edge research in a variety of fields through bench and clinical research projects, quality improvement projects, advocacy programs, and educational research. Faculty provide mentorship for junior trainees in all aspects of medicine.
