The Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent medicine

of the art Family Care Center (FCC). FCC General Pediatrics clinics include
Adolescent Clinic, Acute Care Clinic, Diagnostic Clinic and Growth Clinic

The Pediatric Subspecialty Outpatient Clinic is a cheerful and bustling
facility, which provides a wealth of learning experiences for resident
education. While rotating through the various subspecialty services, residents
are assigned to subspecialty clinics, which may include cardiology, child
neurology, hematology/oncology and rheumatology, endocrinology, nephrology,
genetics, neuromuscular diseases, infectious diseases, gastroenterology
