Morris Green Scholars Program
The Morris Green Scholars Program was created to identify and support pediatric residents and fellows who want to develop careers as pediatric researchers, physician-scientists, and future academic leaders. We recognize that successful physician scientists in training require resources and mentorship beyond the comprehensive clinical training provided in our residency and fellowship programs. As a result, the Morris Green Scholars Program provides additional support for research training for Scholars through seminars, mentorship and funding.
