The curriculum is designed to broadly prepare the physician for Pediatrics in a rural or underserved setting. Therefore, it includes a strong emphasis in both outpatient general pediatrics and inpatient hospitalist pediatrics, along with NICU, PICU, pediatric emergency medicine, behavioral and developmental pediatrics, and elective choices from a full complement of pediatric subspecialties. There are also dedicated blocks to rural pediatrics and to community medicine and advocacy.  During their three years, residents have increasing responsibilities in patient care, management of their own continuing education, and participation in the management of the Pediatric Residency of Idaho clinic and organization. They also have opportunities to participate in various committee and organizational functions within the hospital, the communities, the state, and the nation. The residency strives to help our physicians develop a sustainable lifestyle and work / life balance that will provide them with long term satisfaction and deep meaning and inspiration in the practice of Pediatrics.

Core Faculty

Perry Brown, MD

Pediatrics Residency Program Director

Dr. Brown graduated from the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine in 1995, Dr. Brown completed his Pediatric Residency at the Children’s Hospital/University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, CO in June of 1998. After completing residency Dr. Brown was a general pediatrician for six years at the Saltzer Medical Group in Nampa and Meridian, ID. Additionally, he has served as Co-Director of the St Luke’s Cystic Fibrosis Center of Idaho since January, 2001. He has served as the Medical Director for Children’s Specialty Research for St Luke’s Health System since 2014. 

Dr. Brown joined the faculty of the Full Circle Health in May of 2004. During his time on this faculty, he made continuous improvement of the Full Circle Health’s Pediatric curriculum his highest professional goal.  In 2021, he transitioned his role to become the founding Program Director of the Pediatrics Residency of Idaho, developing and coordinating Idaho’s first pediatrics residency.  He is very excited to welcome Idaho’s first pediatric residency class in the near future.  He is active in public advocacy for children’s health and serves on several Idaho Medicaid committees and state commissions.  In his free time, he loves to be in the outdoors fly fishing, hiking, and skiing, and enjoying time with family and friends.

Susan Bradford, MD

Pediatrics Faculty

Dr. Susan Bradford grew up in Alabama and worked as a chemist in Kalamazoo, MI, prior to deciding she preferred people to test tubes. She then attended Medical School at University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Bradford completed her residency at Seattle Children’s Hospital at University of Washington, where she played an active role in the WWAMI Program and spent two months at the Pocatello Children’s Clinic as part of her residency. After residency, Dr. Bradford returned back to Alabama to be close to family.  However, she missed the West and returned to Pocatello for 12 years prior to relocating to Boise to work with Meridian Pediatrics in 2010. 

Soon after arriving in Pocatello, Dr. Bradford became disheartened by the number of women who used substances during pregnancy and saddened by the fact that there was little treatment available to these women even when they wanted it.  Through an AAP CATCH grant, she was able to work with other concerned members of the community to investigate the scope of the problem. As a result of this community effort, a day treatment program for parenting women was developed in Pocatello. Many of these women shared that their drug abuse resulted from sexual abuse that occurred in their childhood or adolescence. As a result, Dr. Bradford became interested in doing what she could to break the cycle of this very pervasive problem in pediatric patients.  She was fortunate to be able to spend sabbatical time with the Safe and Healthy Families Team at Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, learning how to evaluate and treat children who have been victimized by sexual and physical abuse.

While she enjoys all aspects of pediatric practice, working with abused children was an arena that allowed her to feel that she made a difference by helping healing to occur in a child’s life. Dr. Bradford was Idaho Pediatrician of the Year for 2006. She currently serves as a board member for the Idaho Perinatal Project and is on the Governor’s Children At Risk Task Force and Idaho’s Child Fatality Review Team. 

Dr. Bradford enjoys hiking, cycling, cross country skiing and just being outdoors in the beautiful state of Idaho. She also enjoys gardening and when she has time she likes to read and decorate cakes and cookies.

Dr. Patterson held many leadership roles in his 18 years at Saltzer. He started teaching for the University of Washington School of Medicine in 2009 and this proved to be a passion he wanted to develop. Moving to the Full Circle Health faculty allowed him to enjoy the mix of seeing his own patients as well as teaching the next generation of doctors.

Dr. Patterson has served both the local and national chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics, where he has held several leadership roles throughout his tenure. He thrives in caring for the underserved and has a longstanding passion for the interface of mental illness and pediatrics.  His efforts around immunization improvement have provided tremendous benefits to many Idahoans. Dr. Patterson was previously the Medical Director of the St Luke’s Children’s Performance Improvement Workgroup and has served on the Idaho Immunization Coalition (which he co-founded in 2009).

**Please note that this Instagram account is from the Boise Family Medicine Residency Program -
We look forward to starting our own once the Pediatrics Residency Program begins in July 2023**

"The mission of the Wellness program is to support and promote the physical, psychological, social, and professional well-being of Pediatrics residents, provide them with the tools they will need to make healthy lifestyle choices and empower them to seek work-life balance in their own lives."

The program will be run by residents under the guidance and support of faculty. A committee will be elected who act as a liaison between the residents and faculty as a whole. There is also dedicated funding and didactic time provided by the residency.

PSYCHOLOGICAL

• Employee Assistance Program
• ACMS Programs: Physician Vitality Program, free confidential counseling services, several free hosted events throughout the year
• Free wellness and career coaching with Dr. Schneider leader of St. Luke's Physician Wellness Program

SOCIAL

• Mentoring: all residents will be paired with a faculty member throughout residency for professional guidance. Upon full enrollment of the Pediatric Residency program, interns will be paired with senior residents during their first year to help with the transition into residency and a new city.
• Retreats: There will be an annual out of town retreat to the mountains in late summer / early fall which includes the entire residency. Additionally, protected time each year is provided for individual class retreats.
• Events: several organized family friendly social events throughout the year, often paired with ACMS. Regular book club gatherings. Multiple informal gatherings (mountain bike lessons, cross country ski lessons, trivia nights, relay teams, rec sports teams). Many of these events will allow Pediatric Residents to meet and spend time with Family Medicine Residents.
• Free membership and involvement in the Idaho Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, including invitations to chapter dinner meetings, didactic sessions, and advocacy opportunities. 
• Opportunities to connect with other local medical advocacy groups, including the Idaho Medical Association.
• Cultural offerings at large in Boise: Boise Art Museum, Music (Knitting Factory, Neurolux, Treefort Music Fest) Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Ballet Idaho, Boise Philharmonic, The Morrison Center, Idaho Steelheads Hockey team, Boise State college athletics, grab a pint at one of the many breweries or sip at one of the many local wineries, and enjoy more dining, shopping, and art in Downtown Boise.

PHYSICAL

• Funding for $75.00 per resident, per year, for purchase of wellness equipment (skis, shoes, dinner, childcare, etc.)
• An ever-expanding collection of rentable gear that the Pediatric and Family Medicine Residencies own that is free to all residents (snowshoes, paddleboards, tubes, yard games, coolers, etc.).
• Protected time for medical, behavioral, and dental appointments.
• Outdoor recreation is an important part of the Boise lifestyle. The Boise River courses through the heart of town, bordered by the Greenbelt path. The Ridge to Rivers Trail System boasts over 85 miles of maintained trails for biking/hiking/running. Excellent nordic and downhill skiing can be experienced at Bogus Basin, just 18 miles from town. Additional skiing at Brundage Mountain, Tamarack Resort, and Sun Valley is less than three hours away. Hiking, camping, and backcountry skiing are popular in the nearby Sawtooth, White Cloud, Smoky, and Boulder Mountains. Kayaking, rafting and fishing opportunities also abound with the city in close proximity to the Boise, Payette, Salmon, and Snake Rivers. Rock-climbing and mountaineering opportunities await at the City of Rocks and Sawtooths.

Community Ada County Medical Society (ACMS) is a local group who provides various opportunities to connect with the greater medical community and beyond. Click here for education and recreational opportunities.

Recreation Outdoor recreation is an important part of the Boise lifestyle. The Boise River courses through the heart of the city and is bordered by the Greenbelt bike and walking path that runs from Lucky Peak Reservoir to Eagle Island State Park. Boise was voted the “#1 mountain biking town” by Bike and Mountain Bike magazines. The Ridge to Rivers Trail System boasts over 85 miles of maintained trails for walking and riding. Excellent nordic and downhill skiing can be experienced at Bogus Basin, just 18 miles from the center of town and very popular with the locals for its inexpensive season pass (under $250). Additional skiing at Brundage Mountain, Tamarack Resort, and Sun Valley is less than three hours away. Hiking, camping, and backcountry skiing are popular in the nearby Sawtooth, White Cloud, Smoky, and Boulder Mountains

Kayaking, rafting and fishing opportunities also abound with the city in close proximity to the Boise, Payette, Salmon, and Snake Rivers. Idaho in general has many premier whitewater rafting and kayaking river systems, with the Payette River system less than one hour from town. The Payette offers everything from beginner runs to Class 5 whitewater. The several forks of world famous Salmon River and the Hell’s Canyon section of the Snake River are popular for multi-day trips, as are the stunning desert gorges of the Bruneau, Jarbridge and Owyhee Rivers south of Boise.

Rock-climbing enthusiasts can easily access the local basalt crag known as the Black Cliffs just east of town. Amazing granite routes in the City of Rocks and the Sawtooth Mountains are both less than four hours by car. Mountaineering opportunities also abound in the state, with many excellent routes in the Seven Devils, Sawtooths, White Clouds, Boulders, and Lost River ranges, to name a few.

But you don't need to leave town to find something fun to do. Boise has a vital city center that offers musical entertainment, theatre, opera, good food and shopping. Tubing the cool Boise River during the hot summer months is a popular pastime. The extensive park system, including the Boise Greenbelt, is home to multiple city sports leagues and festivals. The parks and river provide refuge without ever leaving the city.

JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Mission

• Address the need to internalize the concepts of equity, justice and inclusion into the policies, programs, and strategies.
• Reduce biases and increase inclusivity through education and facilitated discussion with residents and faculty.
• Increase diversity and inclusion awareness in residency recruitment and provide relevant feedback to leadership.

Foundational Beliefs:

• Acknowledging racism and implicit bias improves the health of our communities/patients.
• Racism doesn’t just happen in medicine, but everywhere and racism significantly impacts the health of communities.
• We have an obligation to increase representation for underrepresented groups in medicine.
• Institutional racism is not our fault but it is our responsibility to eradicate.
• Challenging racism is everyone’s work.
• Diversity is a benefit to both people of color and white people.
• Institutional racism can be addressed through continual and intentional community work.
• It takes sustained effort to change systems. We will not naturally evolve towards greater equity.
• Building relationships across differences is not the same as confronting systems of oppression.
• Language matters when discussing racism and other inequities and time and care should be paid to minimizing the negative impacts of our words.

Community Agreements

 We are all responsible to learn about our implicit bias, recognize it and name it. We commit to conducting self-assessments, like the Harvard Implicit Association Test (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html).

We pledge to:

• Center the voices of marginalized groups in medicine.
• Be present and participate in antiracism work.
• Model what we learn about antiracism concepts in our work and everyday life.
• Be curious, respectful and open about issues surrounding equity topics including anti-oppression ideas and policies.
• Take care of ourselves by making wellness a priority and modeling this for others.
• Take care of each other by committing to making wellness accessible to everyone and supporting community members of color that don’t ever get to step away from equity work.
• Become comfortable with discomfort. Learn to sit with your discomfort and learn from it.
• To do uncomfortable hard work, while still creating a safe and respectful space for collaboration.
• Strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe and a sense of belonging.
• Maintain privacy of those that feel comfortable enough to share in the space.
• Let others make mistakes. We are in different spaces of learning and experience. Assume positive intent.
• Be humble. Validate your colleague’s experience.
• Be brave. Speak up. Make mistakes.
