Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Cincinnati Children's Combined Pediatrics and Child Neurology Residency is a five-year categorical program (two years pediatrics, three years neurology) embedded in one of the nation's largest pediatric hospitals, ranked No. 3 nationally by Doximity's Residency Navigator. The program's small size and depth of subspecialty faculty allow residents to tailor training toward individual interests, with weekly continuity clinic placing residents as the primary neurologist for their own patient panel throughout training. The institution's research infrastructure (1.5 million square feet of lab space, seven priority research areas) supports residents drawn to laboratory or clinical neuroscience investigation, and the program explicitly states interest in applicants with academic research interests. The culture is described as close-knit and collegial, with residents forming tight peer bonds within a large tertiary/quaternary referral environment treating medically complex pediatric neurological conditions.
