The resident exchange program was initiated in 2002 between the UAB Pediatric Residency Program and the Catholic University in Santiago, Chile. Initially, two residents from UAB traveled to Chile to complete a one-month rotation under the supervision of local faculty. Two residents from Chile came to the department and spent two months rotating on subspecialties of their choosing. In 2012 this program was expanded to the Universidad del Desarrollo/Clinica Alemana with an additional two residents from UAB participating in the exchange.
Both university systems in Chile have an academic hospital and a community hospital. This global health opportunity has allowed UAB Pediatrics residents to gain new knowledge of health care delivery systems, the differences in health care resources, the spectrum of clinical problems, as well as pathologies associated with a foreign environment.
The exchange is funded by the Child Health Foundation, Birmingham, Alabama.
