Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship
The U-M Medical School Department of Anesthesiology Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship training program is a one-year program accredited by the American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). We offer eight positions yearly and are committed to recruiting a diverse group of fellows dedicated to compassionate clinical care and a rich learning environment.
Fellows will gain a wide variety of experience in the management of difficult pediatric cases, including complex congenital heart disease, neonates, premature neonates, fetal surgery, and transplant. Our pediatric operating rooms are located in our free-standing 348-bed C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, the top-ranked children’s hospital in Michigan (U.S. News & World Report).
