Our program provides enough clinical flexibility within the first four months of fellowship training to incoming first year fellows to study for and take their General Pediatric Board Exam. Prometric testing centers are conveniently located within 30 minutes to one hour away depending on desired location.
For more information visit the American Board of Pediatrics for specifics on board certification requirements.
Our fellowship coordinator, Teresa A. Schmidt, will contact the fellowship candidate using the ERAS scheduling program regarding the acceptance of a recruitment interview. We generally interview applicants between August and November. After an interview date is confirmed, the applicant will have an itinerary arranged. A map of the hospital and directions to our office will be provided when the itinerary is completed.
The interview process will involve the most of the day (8 am - 4 pm) where the applicant will receive an overview of the program and a complimentary lunch. Applicants will meet with the faculty members from within and outside the Division as well as current fellows and support staff. A tour of the facilities and the outpatient clinic will be provided.
Travel and hotel reservations are made and paid for by the applicant. Accommodations and recommendations are available upon request.
