Interconnected Faculty Families

While CHOP and Penn are independent entities, they foster a collegial atmosphere to facilitate academic exchange. Most CHOP Research investigators are members of the Penn faculty (CHOP-based Penn faculty members), and they follow both institutions’ policies and oversight. Trainees and students also benefit from this collaborative agreement through postdoctoral, fellowship, and residency programs.

Academic Homes for Innovation

CHOP’s long-term connection to the Perelman School of Medicine at Penn is especially close. Pediatrics operates as a fully integrated department of both CHOP and Penn. Six more academic departments — Surgery, Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Pathology, Radiology, Psychiatry, Biomedical and Health Informatics — share staff and resources with their corresponding departments at Penn.

Sharing Services and Knowledge

The Research Institute’s Core Facilities increase the efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness of research, and many of their services are available to Penn’s scientific community. CHOP-based researchers can apply for access to select Penn-based services, such as the library system. CHOP and Penn also jointly host several multidisciplinary educational and professional development opportunities.
