Boston Children’s Hospital Pediatric Indigenous Health Care Residency Rotation at Boston

The Pediatric Indigenous Health Care residency rotation at Boston Children’s offers residents an in-depth experience working with Native American children and communities. This rotation includes clinical placements at two Great Plains Area Indian Health Services Hospitals: Cheyenne River Health Center in South Dakota and Quentin Burdick Hospital in the Turtle Mountain Service Unit in North Dakota.
Residents will be supervised by Boston Children’s faculty at these sites and will follow a comprehensive curriculum tailored to introduce them to the specific healthcare needs and cultural considerations of Native American populations. The rotation aims to provide residents with a meaningful exposure to the challenges and rewards of working within these communities. Residents may spend up to one month at either site.
Preference is given to Native American trainees, those from medical schools in the Great Plains region, and residents from Boston Children’s combined residency program.
