Research Experience

Pediatric Resident Research Program


The Pediatric Residency Program at Children’s Mercy is committed to providing research opportunities and mentorship support for research to pediatric residents. The Residency Program’s goal is to match interested residents with research mentors.

Additionally, the program provides education for residents interested in research and works with the Children’s Mercy Research Institute to collaborate on resources to maximize research success.
