Pathways
A pathway is an optional set of experiences offered to residents at Children's National surrounding a particular career path or set of professional skills. Pathways are something residents choose to engage in after starting residency at Children’s National; there is no separate application process to participate in a pathway. Residents from any track (Categorical, Primary Care, LAUnCH, Research) can participate in pathway experiences throughout their residency building an intersection of uniquely tailored skills
Our Pathways make our residency curriculum incredibly customizable! Pathways are simply a defined list of activities that you can choose from during elective time coupled with opportunities for additional mentorship and community building with residents and faculty with similar personal and professional goals. Participation in a pathway can range from committing to a single pathway, or mixing and matching among several pathways. If residents complete all of the requirements for a given pathway, a certificate is earned upon graduation from residency.
