What our residents say
“The reason I chose to come to LVHN for my pediatric residency is not only because of the great teaching environment and wonderful resources that are present here, but also because the moment I walked through the doors of the hospital on my interview day, this slogan rang true: ‘You are never alone.’ Everyone that you work with genuinely has your best interest at heart and will do their best to help you in any way they can. It is a wonderful environment to grow and develop into a compassionate and skilled pediatrician.”
“Being part of a residency program with a well-structured learning approach and the invaluable benefit of working in an atmosphere of friendship and cooperation were privileges that I wanted to have during residency. LVHN has all that I was looking for in a residency program. Its philosophy of ‘education above service,’ its organization, the kindness of the faculty, and the resources offered by the network are all part of an ideal program in which to train to become a comprehensive pediatrician.”
