Residency Program
A message from the program director. . .
Dear Prospective Resident: I believe that our greatest strength as a residency program is that we have great residents. Our housestaff works well together developing friendships which last long after residency has ended. Upper level residents consistently demonstrate excellent leadership skills and take an active role in teaching the interns. Residents at all levels of training assume responsibility for their patients’ care and develop confidence in clinical decision making while demonstrating professionalism in their personal interactions. We are also fortunate to have an outstanding teaching faculty. In particular, our chief residents are readily available, are excellent physicians, are proven leaders and serve as examples of professionalism. This is a teaching hospital where resident education is a top priority. As such, the clinical faculty is approachable and works well with the residents in clinical settings. They are also available to provide mentorship for those residents whether choosing a career in general pediatric practice or seeking subspecialty training and research experience. Arkansas Children’s Hospital, the primary site for the residency training program, is one of the ten largest pediatric hospitals in the United States. Thus, our housestaff have the opportunity to work with very diverse patient populations from both rural and urban settings. While we care for patients with a wide range of medical problems, some of which require complex subspecialty care, a solid education in general pediatrics continues to be the primary goal for our residents. Thank you for your interest in our pediatric residency program. We believe that we have an excellent training program and are looking forward to your visit. Sincerely, Hank Farrar, M.D. Residency Program Director Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Chief of Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology
