Why choose the UW Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship?
Individualized Education
While all pediatric hospital medicine fellows must gain certain skills and knowledge during fellowship, they frequently have individual career goals. Our medium-sized program affords ample time to work closely with you to design individualized activities, including a variety of opportunities that meet your specific needs.
Fellow-driven Research Projects
We strive to provide a successful foundation for the rest of your career. Therefore, we believe gaining experience and skills in research is best achieved by embarking on an idea that you are passionate about. Fellows can pursue scholarship in areas such as medical education, global health, advocacy, quality improvement, translational and health services research, and systems innovations within the division, the Department of Pediatrics, or anywhere throughout the expansive University campus.
