For more than 40 years the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Puerto Rico has provided an excellent training ground and clinical base for students, residents and leaders in Pediatrics in Puerto Rico. Some of our alumni have been and currently are leaders in the US Mainland and internationally.

This department continues to be at the forefront of the battles against AID’s, child cancer, cardiovascular malformations, hereditary diseases, child abuse, neglect and violence, pediatric intensive care, neonatal care and pediatric emergency medicine.

One of the strengths of this departement lies in its collaboration between the School of Medicine, the University Pediatric Hospital, our affiliated institutions, the State Health Department and the Pediatric Physician Community. The compromise of the faculty for teaching, quality health care, and clinical investigations are among our many strengths.

The University Pediatric Hospital is the cradle for generations of general pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists and clinical investigators. Our hospital is located at the Medical Center Health Care Facilities in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It serves as a secondary health care provider to the pediatric population in the Metropolitan Area and as a tertiary referral institution to all the Island and the Caribbean.
