Research and the Elmwood Pediatric Group

At Elmwood Pediatrics, our ability to give excellent medical care to our patients is enhanced by the research we do.  We participate in the American Academy of Pediatrics PROS Network which involves practices across the country working together in research projects.  Elmwood Pediatrics also participates in research efforts through the University of Rochester.

We welcome the opportunity to help further the practice of medicine and contribute to the broader community through research.  We are proud of our work and welcome any questions or interest in research at EPG.
