Welcome!

Message from the Program Director, Dr. Lisa Giordano

Thank you for your interest in the Pediatrics Residency Program at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County (formally Cook County Hospital). Our program has a long and rich history of training generations of pediatricians. Our graduates have pursued successful careers in both general and subspecialty pediatrics across our country and around the globe. First accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 1927, we continue to offer high quality pediatric education to residents who come from near and far. Our residents enjoy a rich teaching environment with a full lecture and conference schedule, but learn the most by providing care for our patients under faculty supervision. Stroger is the only public safety net hospital in the city of Chicago, IL, and the Department of Pediatrics provides general and subspecialty care to all infants, children, adolescents and young adults without regards for the ability to pay.
