OUR GRADUATES
Geisinger's residency program was started over seventy years ago and has graduated exceptional pediatricians who have worked to innovate healthcare for children, contribute to our understanding of pediatric illnesses, lead large healthcare organizations, educate students and physicians, and promote health and well-being for millions of children across the country.
A residency education at Geisinger has helped launch hundreds of medical careers. Although Geisinger's residency program is typically recognized for its exceptional ability to train physicians in the field of primary care pediatrics, there has been an ever increasing trend for our graduates to enter into subspecialty fellowships. Over the past five years, just over half of our graduates have moved on to subspecialty careers. Geisinger's national reputation for developing outstanding pediatricians has assisted our residents in consistently being accepted to some of the finest fellowship programs in the country.
We are proud of all our graduates. Below is a list of our more recent graduates and where their careers have led them.
