about training at MGH
Centers of expertise (COEs) in Global and Community Health, Medical Education, Health Policy and Management, and Quality and Patient Safety sponsored by the GME office enable trainees with these interests to network with like-minded trainees and faculty. Small grant awards to enable pilot projects are also available through the COEs.
Salary scale and benefits for the current fiscal year can be found here. Acknowledging that Boston is a high cost-of-living city, salaries are competitive, trainees receive a yearly stipend of $10,500 on top of their salary, and additional benefits including a lease guaranty program, tuition subsidies for conference attendance, and subsidized transit pass help defray costs. Applicants are encouraged to apply for the new federally-funded pediatric subspecialty loan repayment program for which Mass General Brigham is an approved site.
Mass General Brigham for Children - a hospital within a hospital
Mass General Brigham for Children is a children's hospital within the Massachusetts General Hospital. Since its founding, Mass General Brigham has been a general hospital, committed to caring for patients across the lifespan. Mass General Brigham was the first provider of pediatric services in Boston and has been caring for children since 1821.

We are the pediatric referral center and a teaching service for Harvard Medical School.
Training programs at Mass General Brigham for Children include a Pediatrics Residency Program, a Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program, and 5 pediatric fellowships: Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Adolescent Medicine and Critical Care. Additional pediatric trainees care for our patients through residencies in child and adolescent pyschiatry and child neurology, the Harvard combined neonatology fellowship, the Harvard genetics training program, and fellowships in pediatric radiology, pediatric anesthesia, pediatric orthopedics, and pediatric epilepsy.
We pride ourselves on our collegiality, close-knit community, and tailored, individualized care for our patients. We join with the residency program and other fellowship programs for wellness activities, advocacy, and advancement of medical education.

Well-being
Medicine is a challenging field, and we recognize that training can be a particularly stressful time. Mass General Brigham has a number of resources to support the well-being and mental health of learners including 24/7 access to the Trainee Assistance Program for urgent needs. Read more about available resources here.
Our Division has a well-being committee which we encourage trainees to join. Activities include picnics, kickball games, and the Mass General Brigham for Children pediatric endocrinology Little Free Library. Annual retreats across the Mass General Brigham for Children fellowship programs are an opportunity to connect with colleagues and widen social networks. And, like all pediatricians, we love dressing up for Halloween!
