- Consolidation of the ethical principles of the profession and the humanistic and scientific values that characterise our centre.
- Basic training in clinical and experimental research. We encourage our residents to attend congresses and to participate in scientific publications.
- Tutor-supported learning. Fulfilling the teaching objectives is helped by the support and monitoring provided by the tutor in the specialist area, reinforced by the head of each department with the supervision and support of the Teaching Committee.

Available places and training itineraries (in Spanish)
"At SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital there is a very friendly relationship between senior doctors and residents, you never feel alone and there are always people with more knowledge and experience available to discuss any uncertainties you have.”
"The combination between autonomy and accompaniment of the resident is balanced and a system with which one learns a lot. In addition there are options to carry out research projects or the thesis in the Hospital, in case it is of your interest”
"There’s no question that the best thing about the Hospital is the atmosphere among your co-workers. You work really hard, but seeing so many patients is precisely what trains you to be a paediatrician.”
Teaching Committee
The Teaching Committee is regulated by Royal Decree 127/84 and its function is to organise the resident training and supervise its practical application, while ensuring the programme objectives for the different specialist areas are met and establishing a committee for the assessment of each of the residents in training.
The SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital Teaching Committee is also responsible for continuous training sessions. The Committee is chaired by the Head of Studies and is made up of tutors and representatives of the residents in training. There is one representative from each intake of residents on the Committee.
