Program goal: Fellows will be competent pediatric surgeons, who have demonstrated mastery of the six competencies set forth by the Accreditation Council of Medical Education and are qualified for certification in Pediatric Surgery by the American Board of Surgery.
Clinical Training
Fellows work closely with pediatric surgery faculty as well as a multidisciplinary team of physicians to gain an understanding of the pre-operative, operative, and post-operative management of surgical problems in infants and children. Having only one fellow at a time allows the fellow to lead the pediatric surgical service from the onset. Fellows obtain extensive operative experience and provide comprehensive perioperative care.
Fellows train in the following areas:
- Neonatal and pediatric critical care
- ECMO
- General pediatric surgery
- Cancer surgery
- Trauma surgery
- Neonatal surgery
- Gastrointestinal surgery
- Thoracic surgery

During the two-year curriculum fellows have designated rotations in the following specialties:
- NICU

Curriculum
In addition to their clinical responsibilities, our fellows also lead our didactic pediatric surgery and multidisciplinary conferences. Additionally, they participate in hospital wide quality improvement projects and research activities within the Division of Pediatric Surgery.
Each fellow will have the opportunity to attend the following courses and conferences.
Courses
- Pediatric oncology course
- Pediatric advanced minimally invasive surgery course
