We Are CHOP: A Tour

The history, expertise and compassion that make Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia unique are also what makes it the best place for medical trainees.

Come to CHOP to learn the basics of pediatrics and how to make breakthroughs in treatments and science that are the hallmark of the Department of Pediatrics, which has been ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report for the past 8 years. CHOP offers unparalleled opportunities for trainees to experience caring for a large population of children (more than 1.3 million patient visits a year) that are diverse in complexity, range of subspecialties and ethnicity (they come from all 50 states and 115 countries).

Philadelphia is a great place to live, with world-class museums and music, major league sports, tons of recreations activities, a vibrant restaurant scene and multiple neighborhoods offering a variety of housing types. In Philadelphia and at CHOP, there truly is something for everyone.

Is there anybody reading these comments because I was once a patient there back in the 70's before the hospital underwent that massive makeover nearly 20 years ago because I remember over 45 years ago that hospital once had a McDonalds in there plus there was once a Child Guidance Center there below it plus there was a driveway my mother used to call it The Twisted Driveway which had an entrance to The Child Guidance Center plus I can still recall all of the names of the daycare employees & the children who once attended there & I remember a caseworker named Burnese who once worked there & with all of those memories sometimes I still have dreams about this place & I still have vivid dreams about my Grandmother's house which is still located back on 4802 Parrish street in West Philadelphia Pa.
