Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology Fellow

The Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology Fellowship Program

1-Year ACGME Fellow position at Children’s National Hospital, Washington D.C

This one-year, ACGME accredited Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology fellowship at Children’s National Medical Center is to obtain a level of knowledge and clinical experience which will enable the graduate to become an expert in the field and provide anesthetic care for patients of all ages with congenital heart disease. It is expected that the fellow obtain proficiency in all six ACGME core competencies as it relates to the pediatric cardiac anesthesiology program. The fellowship experience will consist of twelve one month rotations at Children’s National Hospital. The yearlong experience will allow the fellow to gain experience in all arenas where patients with congenital heart disease receive anesthesia, including the cardiac operating rooms, the cardiac catheterization lab, and the cardiac MRI. In addition, the program will provide rotations in Perfusion, Pediatric Echocardiography, and Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care. As the fellow progresses through the program, he/she will gradually take on greater responsibility and independence. At the  successful conclusion of the program, the fellow will be qualified to practice independently, and be poised to become a leader in the field of Congenital Cardiac Anesthesiology.

Academic time will also be provided for research and scholarly endeavors.

Fellowship start dates are:
