Mission

The University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics exists to meet the health-related needs of children. We serve this mission through inclusive excellence in clinical care, medical education, pediatric research and community advocacy.

Vision

The Department of Pediatrics is to be:

• an inclusive environment that nurtures diversity among its faculty, staff and trainees in pursuit of its mission.
• the region's most comprehensive and preferred pediatric healthcare system from infancy to young adulthood.
• transformational pediatric educators with a reach from infancy to retirement.
• innovators for change in pediatric health care through collaborative research and quality improvement.
• expert advocates for children's health, equity, and safety; regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Our faculty are researchers who explore innovation in pediatric medicine. They are leaders in their fields, serving on local, regional and national committees and organizations, helping to set standards of care and formulate new models of treatment. They are educators, focused on training the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric specialists.

The UofL Department of Pediatrics is home to several training programs. We offer Pediatrics residency and collaborate with the UofL Department of Medicine on a Medicine-Pediatrics residency program. Our Child & Adolescent Psychiatry & Psychology division offers a Psychology internship, a Child Psychiatry residency program and a post-doctoral fellowship program. Our department also offers pediatric fellowship training programs in: Child Abuse Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases, Pulmonology,Developmental - Behavioral Pediatrics, Critical Care Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Neonatology.

At the University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics, we know that the world of tomorrow will inherit the children of today. We firmly believe that ours is among the highest callings, perhaps second only to parenting. We're proud of the work we do and pledge to always put children first.
