Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship

Established in 2003, the overarching mission of the Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship at Children’s National Hospital (CNH) is to develop the next generation of academic leaders in the field of pediatric hospital medicine. Our ACGME-accredited three year program aims to train each fellow to provide excellent clinical care to hospitalized children, become exemplary medical educators, cultivate skills to effectively change systems of care to improve quality, enhance their knowledge of child advocacy and develop themselves as independent investigators in scholarly domains that directly impact the patients they serve.

    Applicants to the CNH Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship must be successful graduates of an ACGME-accredited pediatric residency program. Our program recognizes the importance of a diverse workforce, one that will enhance the care we provide to hospitalized children. We have taken several steps to ensure a fair application process, including implicit bias training for all our faculty, fellows and GME staff members as well as holistic application review by our recruitment committee. 

    • We offer three fellow positions per year via the NRMP Match Program and accept applications via the AAMC Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
    • Interviews typically run from October to early-November of each year. This year, all interviews will be conducted virtually.

    Please refer to the ERAS and NRMP websites for specific dates related to the application and match process.
