Combined Subspecialty Teams

Practicing on Asthma Day

Residents rotate through combined subspecialty teams at Boston Children’s to maximize their exposure to different specialties and patient presentations. There are three combined teams that are staffed by one supervisor and one intern, who work in partnership with the nutritionists, dedicated nurse educators, NPs, fellows and attendings on each of the subspecialty teams.
