Applicants

Requirements

Pediatric Gastroenterology Fellowship applicants must have:

  • completed 3 years in an ACGME-accredited clinical pediatric residency program
  • a valid medical license in the U.S

Only the following are considered for the fellowship:

  • Graduates of Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-approved U.S. and Canadian Medical Schools
  • International Medical Graduates who have valid Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certificates
  • Graduates of American Osteopathic Association (AOA)-accredited Osteopathic Medical Schools
  • Graduates possessing a valid, unrestricted license to practice medicine in a state or territory of the USA
  • Graduates having completed 3 years of training in a clinical pediatric residency program accredited by the American Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)

Applicants who have not completed 3 years’ training in an ACGME-accredited, pediatric residency program (prior to anticipated matriculation in a subspecialty fellowship program) are advised that the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has limited eligibility to sit for the sub-board certifying examination in pediatric endocrinology to five years after the completion of fellowship training (in addition to board certification in general pediatrics and other requirements). Consequently, those who pursue fellowship training prior to general residency training (out of sequence) will have limited opportunities to achieve sub-board certification in pediatric endocrinology. Details of ABP policies can be reviewed online (http://www.abp.org).

Applicants may submit their applications through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) for the July application cycle.
