What is a Pathway?
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. Residents from any track can participate in pathway experiences throughout their residency, and primarily during their electives, selectives and research time.
Participation can range from one experience in one pathway (or mixing and matching among several pathways) to graduating with a certificate in a particular pathway when particular requirements are met.
Every pathway includes a component of mentorship and community building with other residents and faculty who share similar professional or personal goals.
