The Department of Pediatrics is committed to promoting child health in the community and across the state while supporting innovative clinical programs and expanding research and training initiatives. Rady Children’s Hospital is the largest Children’s Hospital in California and the pediatric gastroenterology services are provided through faculty of the Department of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego. Both are committed to building a neurogastrointestinal and motility disorders program for children and adolescents, advancing IBD care, and improving outcomes for children with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders.

Our Motility Center has participated in several multicenter trials and collaborations with UCSD bioengineering. The IBD Center is a multidisciplinary program that provides care for over 800 children from the Southern California region and beyond. Our Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders program is a national referral center for children that incorporates pediatric gastroenterology, allergy, and nutrition for integrated patient care.
