Basic science research, new drug trials, translational research and educational research are all valued and highly sought after at this institution.
The educational activities of the department include medical students of all levels, 52 resident physicians based at Cardinal Glennon, 20 pediatric sub-specialty fellows, many resident physicians who rotate from partner institutions for pediatric exposure and numerous allied health students.
