The Outpatient Care Center at UIC was completed in 1999 and is the medical home for the over 32,000 pediatric patients seen at the clinic annually. At the Outpatient Care Center, residents receive an excellent educational experience as they care for children of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic levels at our pediatric primary care clinic. In addition to housing our primary care pediatric clinic, the Outpatient Care Center serves the needs of our pediatric patients requiring subspecialty services with its large transfusion/infusion area and its full spectrum of diagnostic services.
-
Continuity Clinic: Each resident has the opportunity to follow his or her own panel of patients over the 3 years of pediatric training at UIC. Residents provide all of the primary care services to their patients, including preventative well child care, immunizations, and follow-up for chronic pediatric problems such as asthma and obesity. The resident’s educational experience is enriched by participation in our weekly clinic conference, where the focus is on issues common to outpatient general pediatrics.
-
Acute Care Clinic: Residents spend several months rotating through the pediatric acute care clinic at the Outpatient Care Center. They manage a busy panel of patients with our academic general pediatricians and learn to assess and evaluate issues in an outpatient urgent care setting.
