Continuity Clinics
All pediatric residents attend continuity clinics one half-day per week on all rotations for all three years, except for vacation, nights, and electives done out of town. Over the three-year period, pediatric staff provide primary care for a panel of patients and their families. Because residents maintain the same site for three years, they often develop a following of patients of their own and become an integral part of their continuity practice office.
Residents in the Primary Care Track attend continuity clinic at Children's Pediatricians and Associates (CP&A) at Foggy Bottom, the same site where they practice for five-month blocks in their second and third years. Children's Community Health Track residents attend continuity clinics in the community at sites affiliated with the Children's Goldberg Center for Community Pediatric Health. Categorical Track residents have the option of participating in continuity clinic at the Children's Health Center at Children's or choosing an alternative site, such as suburban pediatric offices, community clinics, the mobile health van, or a health maintenance organization (usually Kaiser Permanente). Currently about one-third of the Categorical Track residents have their continuity clinics at off-campus sites. Please see each track for more details on their continuity clinic options.
Multiple sites for continuity clinic provide a variety of opportunities and choices for residents, but can be a challenge in providing a uniform curriculum. In response to that challenge, we introduced a web-based curriculum in July 2008 that residents and preceptors at all sites can access.
