Welcome to the Department of Pediatrics

UCI and CHOC have a combination of outstanding educators, researchers and clinicians who lead important education and research missions and provide exceptional care for children. People who care for children know there is nothing more important or satisfying than improving children’s health, preventing or treating disease and teaching the next generation of pediatric providers. Together, we will advance these missions.
