Graduate Medical Education
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a national leader in training talented, diverse physicians who will shape the future of pediatric medicine.
As the nation’s first pediatric hospital, we welcomed our first resident in 1873, and have since trained generations of experts in clinical care, research, advocacy and education.
We have been recognized as the No.1-ranked Department of Pediatrics for eight consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report, and we are the primary pediatric teaching hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.
We are passionate about pediatrics, and we are motivated to make a difference in the world. Step inside our walls to learn why CHOP is a special place to train and why you should be part of our future.
