MCG Pediatric Residency Program

Official page of the MCG Pediatric Residency Program housed at the Children's Hospital of Georgia.

Welcome to the official page for the MCG Pediatric Residency Program. Our program is dedicated to preparing residents for the practice of Pediatrics in the 21st Century. The Children's Hospital of Georgia is a home base for our residents' education and work experiences, complete with a spacious, technologically advanced conference room for morning report and noon conferences, a private library, as well as a resident lounge and clustered private call rooms. To complement our outstanding physical facilities, we have a faculty that is truly committed to education and contribute significant proportions of its time to that effort. Our commitment to education is evidenced by Pediatrics being chosen as the Outstanding Clinical Teaching Department by the graduating senior class for ten of the past fourteen years.

☕️ Coffee Rounds for Pediatrics Resident Appreciation Week here at Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia

Nothing like coffee rounds to keep our residents going — fueled by cold brew, sweet tea, brownies, and cookies while taking care of our amazing little patients.

Grateful for the support, the caffeine, and the community that makes residency a little sweeter every day.

Pediatrics Resident Appreciation Week — Day Two - Faculty Sponsored Lunch!

So grateful for our incredible pediatrics faculty who go above and beyond to support, teach, and guide our residents throughout their training. Today’s faculty-sponsored lunch from Hibachi Grill Express was the perfect reminder of how valued our residents are — from the flavorful hibachi plates to the sweet desserts that added a boost to the day perfectly.

This carousel captures what makes our program special: supportive mentors, dedicated residents, and moments of connection that fuel them through training. Thank you to our faculty for investing in our residents every single day and for shaping the pediatricians our residents are becoming.

Proud to support our community beyond the hospital walls! 💜🩵

Pediatric residents Disa Rathore, DO, My Duyen Vo, MD and Shubhankar Joshi, MD from Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia had the opportunity to volunteer at Let’s Talk Hygiene & Body Safety Community Edition by Child Enrichment, helping start age-appropriate conversations around puberty, hygiene, and body safety. 👦🧒

Creating a safe, welcoming space for kids and families to ask questions and build confidence is a powerful step toward lifelong health and self-advocacy. Grateful to partner with so many trusted local organizations to make prevention, education, and empowerment accessible for all 💬✨

Sweet break during Academic Half Day 🍪✨

This week’s procedures and simulation session also included hands on experience with sprinkles and frosting because learning is better with cookies (and community).

Another fantastic annual residency holiday party means another set of class pictures on the stairs at Dr. Bassali’s house to share! This year the faculty joined in with their own picture featuring 9 former MCG Peds residents🤩
