Tampa General Hospital

http://www.tgh.org

Tampa General Hospital is a 1,000-bed metropolitan hospital, which has 181 beds and cribs dedicated for pediatrics. More than 25 pediatric specialties are part of the Children's Medical Center, which features a multi-specialty unit, a pediatric intensive care center, a neonatal intensive care unit with ECMO technology, dialysis and renal transplant units, newborn and special care nurseries, and regional trauma and burn centers that serve both children and adults.

Residents gain clinical pediatric experiences in a wide variety of settings. They rotate through many teaching centers, including the USF Medical Clinic, which is part of the university's multi-center outpatient care network. Residents also staff Genesis, a prenatal and infant/children care clinic serving high-risk populations in Tampa. Residents gain further outpatient experience through participation in private practices and community clinics. These positions include urban, suburban and rural settings providing a full spectrum of the challenges facing tomorrow's pediatric practitioners.

An extensive computerized database is used to track the patients seen by residents in the Continuity Clinic. The system documents patient mix by age and diagnosis to help ensure that each resident has sufficient experience with well patients and patients with more complex or chronic problems.

The ability of residents to elect clinical and research experience at numerous facilities throughout the region adds an important element of flexibility, providing a medical education that can easily adapt to today's changing health care picture. Through this flexibility, the Department of Pediatrics provides its resident trainees with ample opportunity to explore the full spectrum of pediatric practice and research.
