Meet Dr. Catherine Michelson, the Program Director of the Pediatric Residency Program at Lurie Children's and learn more why it's one of the most sought-after programs in the country.
The program is a central component of the educational and patient care activities in one of the top pediatric academic hospitals in the United States. As the leading state-of-the art institution in providing pediatric healthcare regionally, our residents are key in contributing to the goal of delivering the best possible family-centered care to all children.
The foundation of our residency program is based on education and teaching. Education goes on around the clock and occurs at all levels at Lurie Children’s in many different formats. Our system of teaching and learning is much like the environment of a small college with as many teachers as there are students. We strive to provide each resident with the opportunity to tailor an individualized educational experience designed to maximize your educational goals and career options.
