Our New Pediatric Residency Program

Our longstanding academic partnership with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been a vital part of our commitment to care. We’ve been helping to train physicians together for over 40 years — and we’re excited to extend that partnership with our new pediatric residency program, launched in conjunction with Cedars at our Virgil Family Health Center this July.

According to Dr. Anna Noble, Associate Medical Director of Academic Affairs and Interim CMO, working at Saban offers pediatric residents a different kind of learning. She explains, “Here they gain experience in preventive care, which is an important complement to the hospitalbased work they do at Cedars. Having both ensures our residents receive a greater breadth of training with kids.” Dr. Noble adds that the program also keeps our clinic doctors on their toes because residents ask a lot of questions.

The program will support eight residents per year. Over time, it will allow us to expand access to services for our communities. It will also give babies born at Cedars-Sinai a path to continuing care — if they don‘t have a pediatrician, we can continue to see them here in the Clinic. It’s just one more way we’re building partnerships with local academic institutions to better serve our shared communities.

The pediatric residency program keeps us fresh and innovative, and allows us to maintain a more academic environment.
