Application Requirements
Applicants for the position of Fellow in Pediatric Surgery should have completed requirements of the American Board of Surgery (5 years in an approved general surgical residency program in the US or Canada) by the time of the desired appointment, and at that time, they must be licensed to practice medicine in the state of Pennsylvania. ATLS certification is also required.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia participates in the matching plan as organized by the American Pediatric Surgical Association. We participate with the ERAS Fellowship Application System. Visit ERAS at https://www.erasfellowshipdocuments.org.
Positions are sometimes available for visiting Fellows in Pediatric Surgery, frequently from abroad, for periods of 3 to 12 months; upon review, an additional year may be offered. Such programs are geared to the special interests of the fellow and may also include a program of laboratory research.
