What is in the guide
Programs set their own deadlines, and many Pediatrics programs still accept applications well after the first wave of ERAS applications has gone out. This guide lists every Pediatrics program whose deadline had not passed yet, so you can add programs to your list while there is still time.
- Programs sorted by deadline, soonest first, grouped by month.
- Program name, ACGME code, city and state.
- J-1 and H-1B visa sponsorship.
- The share of international medical graduates (IMGs) among current residents.
- A link from every program to its full profile on ResidencyPrograms.io.
