Welcome from the Chairman

Gerald M. Loughlin, MD
Pediatrician-in-Chief

As Chairman, it is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College and the Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health.

This is an exciting time for our Department. We have completed renovations of our inpatient facilities, and opened our state-of-the-art subspecialties clinic last year in the Helmsley Medical Tower. Our collaborations across departments continue with the innovative, patient-centered Advanced Center for Digestive Care, which includes a pediatric program. We have hired a pediatric sleep specialist and now offer sleep studies for children and teens in a dedicated pediatric area of the newly constructed Weill Cornell Center for Sleep Medicine.

Part of our Department's mission is to provide our residents with an outstanding educational experience. Our program combines a broad based comprehensive general pediatrics experience coupled with an in-depth exposure to tertiary and quaternary sub-specialty pediatrics. We have outstanding faculty who are committed to your education. During your time with us, you will have considerable contact with this quality faculty. We have enhanced our research training experience, which provides our residents a wonderful complement to the clinical training. Residents are assigned a fulltime, accomplished faculty member to assist them in preparing and executing the required research project.

Over the years, our residents have gone on to highly successful careers in both private practice and academic medicine. We are extremely proud of their accomplishments and contributions to pediatrics.

Our location in the Upper East Side of Manhattan is an additional bonus. This is a great place to live. As you know, New York City offers numerous welcome distractions from the demands of residency training.

I look forward to meeting you during your visit to our program.
