“The program at Peyton Manning Children's hospital is a hidden gem. For being a small, community based program it offers the experience and variety of practicing in a large metropolitan center. Learning that the program focuses on creating solid pediatricians at its core with ample flexibility and opportunity for developing subspecialty interests drew me to the program.

Indianapolis and Peyton Manning Children's Hospital have been welcoming from the very beginning. Coming from the West Coast it was important to me to have a city and hospital that felt like a home away from home. Anyone looking for a place to create lasting friendships and memories will find it here.”

"The biggest thing I took away from my time at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital was an ability to think critically. As medicine becomes more protocolized, this skill that is becoming harder to learn. However, the ability to think through cases is paramount to your ability to perform well in the face of uncertainty. With the framework to patient care you learn at PMCH, you will feel prepared to tackle any case."

"The pediatric residency at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital provided excellent and personalized training. There is ample opportunity for hands-on learning with procedural opportunities in multiple settings and monthly pediatric simulations. The tertiary care center with multiple subspecialties allowed for exposure to common as well as rare conditions. The physicians, nurses, and support staff felt like family. I was easily able to identify mentors in my area of interest early in my residency and subsequently complete a research project with one of them, ultimately helping in my career path towards pediatric endocrinology fellowship. From being comfortable managing common inpatient and outpatient pediatric conditions, to helping manage a patient on ECMO or intubating neonates, PMCH provides a broad, but customizable pediatric experience. The formal teaching provided through scheduled conferences and the informal teaching on rounds gave me a solid pediatric foundation and helped me pass my pediatric board exam."

"I chose to work at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital because I felt that the program provided a unique opportunity that I did not find in any other program I visited. As a smaller program at a hospital without fellows, it allows for direct interaction and learning from attendings and subspecialists but provides these benefits without sacrificing the opportunity to learn from high acuity patients."

“As part of the 2nd graduating class at the Pediatric Residency program at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, I had invaluable first hand experience with both primary care and specialties, especially ICU experience. The NICU was like no other with challenges cases from across the state, a busy delivery service and the chance to work with amazing staff. At St. Vincent I was part of not only a group of physicians but also part of a bigger family, who truly cared about patients, families and most importantly each other. After fellowship training in NICU I was thrilled to once again join this family that truly practices the Spirit of Caring!”

“I attended medical school at IU SOM and completed residency trained at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. I was able to enjoy a very personalized training experience as the program was small and my voice was easily heard. My preceptors knew me very well and could tailor my learning to help me gain the most from my time as a resident. I enjoyed learning pediatrics at a community based hospital system and my love for pediatrics only grew during my time as a resident. After graduation, I took a position with SVMG in Anderson, IN and enjoyed the ability to have a private practice. My patients and my experience during my time at Anderson was wonderful however I missed the excitement of teaching and working with learners. I have been able to come back and join the primary care clinic where I get to continue to work with amazing families in Indianapolis as well as teaching daily. Working with medical students for maybe the first time they have examined an infant to helping guide a third year resident through a complicated differential diagnosis make every day exciting and fun!”
