About the University of Utah and Primary Children’s Hospital

Framed against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, Primary Children’s Hospital and the University of Utah collaborate to provide exceptional patient care and comprehensive resident training. The Department of Pediatrics is the interface of a special working relationship between these two organizations, which allows residents to benefit from exposure to the two largest healthcare systems in the state. Our department is the second-largest department in the University of Utah School of Medicine and one of the largest pediatric departments in the country. We are a medium-sized program in a high-volume referral center with a balance of inpatient, critical care, and ambulatory settings. Our catchment area is vast and encompasses a five-state region with more than 1 million children, providing full spectrum training for our residents.  Residents can expect to spend most of their time at Intermountain Healthcare’s Primary Children’s Hospital, a nationally-ranked children’s hospital. Besides ample exposure to clinical learning, residents can expect to be part of a close working family of faculty that are innovators in patient care, quality improvement, research, advocacy, and academic medicine. We look forward to meeting you!
