Welcome to the MU Med-Peds Website.  The internal Medicine-Pediatrics training program at MU is a robust, resident-driven program.  Our residents are highly involved in patient care, education, and leadership activities both at the University of Missouri and in the local community.  Graduating residents have entered into a broad range of careers throughout the country, including primary practice, hospitalist medicine, emergency medicine, and further training in fellowship both in categorical training programs and in combined Med-Peds fellowships.

Previous residents have even won grants for medical outreach to underserved communities.  Residents also have the option of pursuing both clinical and bench research if they desire, and active participation in resident and medical student education is both encouraged and rewarded.

Our education program benefits from conferences in both categorical residency programs as well as our own conference series.  Together with Dr. Robert Lancey, our program director, Med-Peds residents have also developed our own weekly curriculum covering both recent journal articles and board review questions.  Finally, we continue to create new opportunities for combined exposure to adult and pediatric patients with the ongoing development of combined subspecialty electives.

Residents are what make any training program work.  I am immensely proud to work with one of the best groups of residents at MU, and I hope you take a closer look at our program.  I bet you will like what you find.
