Physician Collaboration

Children's Hospital Los Angeles is an academic hospital, meaning that we are constantly on the cutting-edge of medical practice.  It means that our physicians take every opportunity to learn from and train each other regarding care for children.  It also means that our physicians are conducting research to improve care for children. 

Benefits for Your Child

Your child benefits from this approach because a higher number of experts reviewing their case means that several physicians gain a consensus before treatment is provided. 

Although this approach to care may take longer than being seen by one physician, it ensures the highest quality care for your child, as well as all of the children for which we provide care.  Each of our physicians who reviews your child's care will make every effort to be as conscientious and compassionate as possible.
