Welcome to the Tulane Combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Website

Tulane Medical School's Internal Medicine/Pediatric Residency Program is designed to develop excellent clinicians through comprehensive training and graduated responsibility for patient care. Residency training is enriched by life in New Orleans itself, a vibrant city with a heritage of medical excellence. This great city suffered a great deal of devastation as a result of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and is still recovering from its devastating effect.

Since 1988, our major goal has been to develop the inquisitive mind, the crucial element of clinical and laboratory investigation, and superb patient care. While training at Tulane University Medical Center, Tulane Hospital for Children, Medical Center of Louisiana - New Orleans (MCLNO i.e. Charity Hospital) and Ochsner Clinic Foundation, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of normal growth and development, the aging process, and diseases that affect infants, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Through clinical experience and intensive faculty instruction, you'll gain broad knowledge in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, and develop the essential skills of history-taking, physical examination and laboratory and clinical procedures.

When you, the resident, complete our program, you will have a strong foundation for a comprehensive primary care practice or subspecialty practice, as well as university or hospital-based practice, research or education. Whatever your ultimate goals, Tulane's Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program will give you the basis for a rewarding, fulfilling career.
