General Pediatrics
Overview
The Division of General Pediatrics at the University of South Florida (USF) manages all areas of childcare from birth to age 21. Our staff includes medical assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, resident physicians, attending physicians and other practitioners.
Our Vision: The Division of General Academic Pediatrics at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine - a nationally recognized leader in providing and teaching comprehensive, evidence-based care, ensuring that all children in our communities have access to high-quality care in a patient centered environment.
Our Mission: To provide and teach high quality, compassionate, value-based pediatric care from birth to 21 years of age in Tampa Bay in a patient centered environment. We accomplish this by building trust through shared decision-making with our patients and their families. We further attain this objective by teaching evidence-based care to our future medical professionals and by advancing pediatric medicine to address the unique needs of the children in our communities.
Our Values: Interprofessionalism, passion, compassion, accountability, respect, excellence, family and evidence-based care.
Why Choose Us?
Our skilled pediatric providers - many of whom speak English and Spanish - focus on a family-centered approach for care that grows with the child and adapts as they transition into adolescence and adulthood. USF Health Pediatrics is recognized as Patient Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
Aside from outpatient care, our services also include inpatient newborn service, consultations, and admissions to Tampa General Hospital and All Children's Hospital.
As part of integrated services, we offer an Internal Medicine-Pediatric clinic that assists with the transition to adult medicine care.
Our focus is on establishing a trusting partnership with you and your family so that you can make informed decisions about the health and well-being of your child.
Paying it Forward
Training the next generation of health care professionals is an integral component of our division's mission. Hence, our clinics are stuffed with resident physicians - doctors who have completed medical school training and are spending additional three to four years learning the specialty of pediatrics or internal medicine-pediatrics. These residents are under constant supervision of an attending physician.
