DESCRIPTION
The Department of Pediatrics is one of the largest departments within the School of Medicine with approximately 171 Faculty, 60 post-doctoral fellows (both MDs and PhDs) along with over 300 support staff (not including hospital staff). In addition, the Department has 57 clinical residents and fellows distributed across the Divisions. The missions of research, education and patient care are intertwined, and are integral to the goals of the department.
The Department has undergone significant growth in recent years with a consolidated budget of approximately $106 million including sponsored projects expenditures of approximately $54 million and clinical revenue of over $ 52 million. This expansion of the Department's research and clinical portfolio is expected to continue in the next few years.
The Department's 18 divisions include Academic General Pediatrics, Child Development & Community Health; Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology; Cardiology; Dermatology; Dysmorphology; Emergency Medicine; Endocrinology; Gastroenterology; Genetics; Genome Information Sciences; Hospital Medicine; Infectious Diseases; Neonatology; Nephrology; Pharmacology & Drug Discovery; Rehabilitation Medicine; and Respiratory Medicine.
In 2001, physicians and leadership of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Rady Children's, and Children's Specialists of San Diego (CSSD) unified pediatric patient care, research, education and community service programs, creating a university-affiliated children's health system to serve the region. Over the past two decades, an extensive list of joint programs has developed, with many physicians and researchers playing a role at both institutions.
This affiliation has consolidated the clinical, teaching, research and public service programs of the UCSD School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics with San Diego's only health care system dedicated to the health and well-being of children. In 2009, this partnership was furthered by the creation of Rady Children's Specialists of San Diego, a Medical Foundation, and is now recognized as having global leaders in research, technology, translational medicine, education and clinical excellence.
The Division of Academic General Pediatrics, Child Development and Community Health includes 20 faculty members, 2 post-doctoral fellows, 4 clinical fellow, 6 research interns, 50 research and health promotion staff, and additional clinical staff within 3 sections: Academic General Pediatrics, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics and the Center for Community Health. The division is housed in 3 locations with space for clinical activities, medical education, research and other scholarly pediatric activities. These locations include 8000 sq. feet of space for research and service activities located in two locations within the community: City Heights Center, 4305 University Avenue, Ste 590, San Diego, CA 92105; and San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, 3851 Rosecrans Street, San Diego 92110, and space for clinical activity and teaching on the Rady Children's Hospital campus. Community locations enhance the Division's ability to do community-based research and health promotion.
