Every year we’re ecstatic to see our residents secure jobs at the most competitive primary care practices and FQHCs while our fellowship bound residents match at the nation’s top programs in nearly every pediatric subspecialty field, including at Boston Children’s, CHOP, UCSF, CHLA, UCLA, Cincinnati Children’s, Texas Children’s, and our very own CHAM. Match day is neither the start nor the end of our residents’ success stories though. It starts early in helping them identify what they want their career to look like and then guiding them towards a road to achieve those goals. Just as important is that sense of preparedness and purpose our residents get on on that first day of a new role when they know their time at CHAM was worth it. Take a look below at where our residents go but also how we help them get there.

Career Support and Paths after CHAM
CHAM offers comprehensive career development resources to support pediatric residents throughout their training.
Mentorship and Coaching
▼
Each resident begins intern year with a Program Director or Associate Program Director Coach, meeting regularly to provide individualized guidance, review career growth, and ensure the transition from medical student to resident to pediatrician is supported and tailored to the resident’s individual goals and needs.
By the end of intern year, residents identify additional faculty and research mentors to provide targeted support for their evolving career and personal goals.
Preparation for the Board Exam
▼
A robust Board Preparation Curriculum runs longitudinally during the year and includes:
- Chief led Board Review before Academic Half-Day
- Subject specific Board Review sessions from February to June
- Sessions on test-taking anxiety and test-taking strategy
- Study tips from recent CHAM graduates
- MedStudy question bank access for all PGY-3 residents with assigned questions through the year tailored to prior CHAM resident performance gaps
Networking and Alumni Engagement
▼
CHAM leverages its extensive network to facilitate connections with alumni through events such as CHAM Alumni Day and resident focused career panels.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the large number of recent graduates who make themselves available for guidance and networking opportunities. CHAM residents benefit from the large number of alumni that stay in the Montefiore Einstein system as well as our alumni across the country and professional spectrum who take pride in bringing their experience and insights back to the CHAMily.
Fellowship Support
▼
Residents are offered guidance from Program Leadership and their own mentors through the entire application process. Program leadership is available to review every fellowship application and hold virtual practice interviews.
Residents are guaranteed to meet CHAM alumni along their interview trail and many recent graduates encourage residents to reach out during the process for insights and advice.
Primary Care Career Support
▼
Primary Care Career Panels are held throughout the year to connect residents with recent alumni who share insights into primary care careers post-residency. As the job market for pediatricians is constantly changing, a Jobs Bulletin with curated career opportunities is distributed periodically along with guidance and insights from alumni and faculty. As an additional resource, residents are always invited to discuss a career in general pediatrics with Suzette O. Oyeku, MD, MPH, Chief, Academic General Pediatrics, who oversees the network of Montefiore Einstein general pediatrics practices, for high-level insights on navigating the job market and interview process.
Chiefs Café
▼
The Chief’s Café is a near peer resident-driven initiative designed to support education, wellness, professional development, and research in a flexible, informal setting.
- Offers a conversational, peer-focused environment with refreshments (because everyone can use a coffee).
- Topics are presented as a “menu,” allowing residents to select sessions tailored to their individual needs and interests.
- Aims to provide resources and mentorship in areas often under-addressed by formal curricula, recognizing that residency training encompasses more than clinical duties alone.
