Pediatric Residency
Message from our Chief Residents!
Welcome to the University of Mississippi Medical Center Pediatrics Residency Program! We are the Chief Residents for the 2026-2027 academic year and are thrilled that you are exploring our program. All three of us were raised here in Mississippi–Dylan in Columbus, Monica in Clinton, and Emilee Ann in Greenwood! We’re from all over the state! We all went to medical school here at UMMC. Dylan and Monica completed their training in internal medicine and pediatrics, while Emilee Ann completed her training in pediatrics.
Serving the children of Mississippi is a privilege we all deeply value. As the state's only Children’s hospital, we play a crucial role as a safety net for the sickest patients in Mississippi and neighboring areas. Our state-of-the-art Level 1 Trauma Center and Level 4 NICU allow unparalleled exposure to complex pathology and illnesses. Both the quality of training and the clinical experience we received in residency prepared us for independent practice.
We are certainly thankful for the residency experience and the work family that we have through UMMC. Ask any of our residents, and they will tell you that the people of UMMC drew them in and have encouraged them throughout residency. Our nurturing family atmosphere created by both our residents and our leadership is one of the things that makes our program so special. They call Jackson "The City with Soul" – and that rings true in our hospital and for our residents. We care deeply for our city, our state, and our people.
Our residency program is an extension of that sentiment, and we are excited that you are considering our program for your training in Pediatrics. Whether you join us from within UMMC or bring your experiences from elsewhere, we look forward to welcoming you to our team. We are eager to meet you and wish you success in your pursuit of a fulfilling career in pediatrics!
