Our Global Pediatrics program, one of the only programs of its kind in the country, is clinically focused on areas including international adoption, travel-related disease, immigrant and refugee health and infectious diseases of children in developing countries.

Our pediatric specialists care for children and conduct research all over the world. What we learn in our overseas studies benefits children here and in other countries by contributing to our understanding and treatment of disease.
