Our one-year ACGME accredited program is affiliated with The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences whose mission is to enhance the health and health equity of individuals and communities through world-class education, research, and patient care. Established in 1870, Children’s National Hospital stands as one of the oldest children’s hospitals in the nation. Over the years, it has evolved into a distinguished 323-bed primary and tertiary care facility renowned for its commitment to pediatric healthcare. Annually, we conduct over 17,000 surgeries and proudly hold accreditation as a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services System (MIEMSS). 

Situated in the heart of Washington, D.C., Children’s National Hospital serves as a beacon of hope for children not only in the Capital but across the nation and globe. We have earned a reputation for excellence and innovation, drawing patients far and wide seeking our specialized care.

At the core, the Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship’s goal is to provide outstanding training in a nurturing environment. Our program aims to equip fellows with comprehensive knowledge, refined skills, and invaluable experience, preparing graduates to excel as family-centered pediatric anesthesiologists in any practice setting.

Under the guidance of our esteemed faculty who are committed to excellence in medical education, fellows receive top-notch training and learn to deliver exceptional care to infants, children, and adolescents across diverse age groups and abilities. Our fellowship program encompasses a broad spectrum of comorbidities and surgical procedures, including congenital heart repairs, craniofacial and laryngotracheal reconstructions, neonatal emergencies, spine and neurosurgery, transplantations, trauma and burn surgeries, and complex orthopedic and urologic procedures.
