 Hello, and welcome to Pediatrics at the University of Maryland. We're very excited that you're interested in our program. I'm Erin Guides, the Pediatric Residency Training Program Director, and this is my 15th year running the Pediatric Residency Program. We have a really great program that we hope that you'll get the chance to meet us more and learn more about us. We have a total of 45 pediatric residents in our categorical training program. We also have 16 MedPeds residents and 10 Peds EM residents in our combined training programs. So we have a total of 70 residents, and hopefully you'll get the sense when you get to know us more about what a family we are. Some of the things I like the most about our training program is that we have a real diversity of thought. So having the different training programs actually helps us to be able to think about problems differently. I love it when I'm on the inpatient floor and I'm working with a team of physicians and the folks I'm working with. Some of them are my pediatric categorical residents. Some of them are my MedPeds residents, and some are Peds EM. And we look at problems in a different way and really learn from each other. I love the fact that our hospital, our children's hospital, is actually a hospital within a hospital, and we actually are able to really learn from our colleagues in other fields. And we actually get to learn educational innovations from each other right here on campus. And I really hope that you'll get the chance to learn more about us, and we can meet you in person one day soon. Hi, my name is Matthew Grant. I am the Assistant Program Director here at University of Maryland in our Pedagogical Pediatrics program. Aside from the amazing faculty and wonderful residents we have here at University of Maryland, I think my favorite part of our program is the ability for residents to really individualize their curriculum. We have really great tracks and pathways, including our advocacy track, our research quality improvement, and our global health track that allow residents to take time out of their curriculum to explore individual passions to create projects that help to serve our underserved population around University of Maryland, to explore research projects that allow them to create publications and to really explore their individualized needs to launch them into fellowships and out into their careers in a really great way. Our faculty is really supportive of resident research projects and are able to guide residents in their projects all the way through publications. We're really excited to meet you and thank you for your interest in University of Maryland. Hi, my name is Repka Takesta. I am a third year categorical pediatrics resident at University of Maryland. I'm also one of the rising chief residents. There are many things I love about our program, and just to name a few, one of it is our commitment to wellness. Resident wellness is highly valued and actively supported in our program. We have a very close community. We have very easy access to everybody within the program, including our program leadership, our administration, our attendings, our residents and students, et cetera. We also have a very collaborative culture residents care about and really support one another. We enjoy working together. We have also a very diverse patient population that we get to serve, and we get to work very closely with very highly knowledgeable and incredibly talented attendings who are very motivated to teach and really are serious and care about resident education. We have various opportunities to provide feedback, and we also have very many different avenues to also provide feedback, and resident feedback is highly encouraged and is used to implement change within the program in order to constantly grow and better our program.
