Residents develop leadership skills through serving on UC Davis pediatric residency committees to improve residency education and wellness, UC Davis Health System Resident Medical Staff Committees, and advocating for child health through testifying at the California legislature, and leading within the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Pediatric Trainees.
Lena van der List, D.O., Class of 2020, was a leader in legislative advocacy throughout residency. She was selected to be the District IX Assistant District Representative of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Pediatric Trainees during her second year, then rose to become the District IX District Representative during her third year, representing pediatric residents throughout the entire state of California.
We value and highly encourage resident participation in committees that are relevant to resident education and patient care. The perspectives and recommendations of our residents have been instrumental as we continue to strive to improve their educational experiences. Residents from each year are active and vital participants in Education Committees (Program Evaluation Committee, Medical Student Education Committee, Wellness Committee) as well as Patient Care Committees (Ward Committee, Resident Group Practice Committee, Resident Medical Staff).
