It is home to the Inova Children's Hospital's Pediatric Residency Program and Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship Program which combines the academic rigor of a university-based hospital, the complexities of subspecialty pediatrics and the family atmosphere of a community program. The Children's Hospital provides state-of-the-art technology, research and teaching innovations, and a dedicated multidisciplinary team approach to patient care.
