The track combines traditional categorical pediatric residency training with enhanced community experiences and education pertaining to general pediatrics, health equity and leadership in primary care.�� ����
  • Track residents are embedded in Jessup Street Clinic, a well-established medical home passionately committed to underserved families in Wilmington, Del. Residents receive a strong foundation in inpatient and subspecialty pediatrics but devote more time to outpatient subspeciality and primary care experiences than their peers. Primary Care Track Residents also receive formal education in health equity, advocacy and leadership through an additional curriculum. All track residents are responsible for a primary care-focused scholarly or community outreach project and meet regularly with track leaders for mentorship and career guidance.����
  • By the completion of their training, graduates will have a detailed understanding of barriers to health and how to partner with communities and families to optimize care. Graduates will feel well-equipped to care for the complex needs of any underserved community and feel prepared to be leaders in primary care. Residents will receive a designation of Distinction in Primary Care Pediatrics upon graduation.����
  • The application process involves residents expressing interest after Match Day; the pediatric residency program leadership and Track Directors Drs. Casey Coleman and Jonathan Miller select up to two residents per year.����
  • The track is affectionally abbreviated HELA, honoring Mrs. Henrietta Lacks, whose story grounds us and deeply aligns with our track mission.��
