ABOUT
NMPRA (National Med-Peds Residents’ Association) seeks to enhance the Med-Peds specialty by: supporting and promoting resident advancement and professional opportunities; creating national connections and opportunities for residents; increasing awareness of and advocating for med-peds as a specialty; and recruiting medical students in the specialty.
WHAT IS "MED-PEDS"?
Med-Peds is a shortened term for “Combined Internal Medicine & Pediatrics”. Med-Peds is a four-year curriculum that focuses on two specialty areas, internal medicine and pediatrics. After completing four years of medical school, a physician must then complete further years of training (residency) to be fully licensed in most states in the U.S.

WEBINARS
How to Apply Med-Peds?
This series was originally created in the summer of 2020 as a collaborative effort between NMPRA, MPPDA, and AAP-SOMP to provide medical students with a virtual opportunity to explore Med-Peds as a career option and connect them with the Med-Peds community and leaders across the country during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interested in Fellowship?
For those interested in learning more about Combined and Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowships as a Med-Peds applicant.
Educational Series
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed clinical experiences for medical students and residents over the past 2 years. As a result, NMPRA has collaborated with MPPDA to compile pre-recorded webinars that cover important topics in both internal medicine and pediatrics that trainees are seeing less frequently or not at all during the pandemic.

DEI CORNER
NMPRA has developed a committee for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). The purpose of this committee is to develop a pipeline program for under-represented minorities specifically in the field of Med-Peds.
