The Pediatric Surgery Fellowship program provides fellows with the tools they need
to build a solid knowledge base and gain clinical experience to successfully care
for infants and children from birth to 18 years of age requiring surgical treatment
and promotion in general health.
As residents gain experience and demonstrate growth in their ability to care for patients
through faculty supervision, they will assume roles that permit them to exercise those
skills with greater independence. At the end of their training, fellows should function
as competent pediatric surgeons. The Pediatric Surgery Fellowship is administered by the University of Tennessee Graduate
Medical Education Department in conjunction with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
