About the Program
We have pooled the considerable resources of two major institutions to create exciting, high-quality programs in patient care, biomedical research and, in particular, resident training. With the strong financial backing of Nemours, the broad patient bases of the Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware, and the rich academic heritage of Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University (TJU), we have developed a unique educational program. Gain a wealth of experience working with nationally recognized physician-educators in a variety of pediatric disciplines, and with patients in hospital, clinic and private practice settings.
You’ll receive exposure to several hospitals serving distinct communities:
Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware, (primary teaching hospital) Wilmington, Del.
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.
