The Combined Anesthesiology–Pediatrics Residency Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a 5-year ACGME-accredited dual-specialty training program that integrates comprehensive education in both anesthesiology and pediatrics. The program begins with a pediatrics-focused internship, followed by balanced rotations in perioperative care, pediatric and adult anesthesia, inpatient and outpatient pediatrics, subspecialty pediatrics, critical care, and pain management. Residents gain hands-on experience at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Children’s Center, managing complex medical and surgical cases while developing advanced clinical and procedural skills.
