Clinical Rotations

The three-year fellowship program is divided into clinical training and research time. Clinical time is fairly evenly distributed throughout the three years, weighted only slightly heavier during the first year of training to allow more research time and flexibility during the second and third years. Most research weeks are call-free. On-call time is spent exclusively in-house and is comprised of a combination of night-float and 28-hour calls.

Clinical training occurs at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, a quaternary care, free-standing Children’s Hospital affiliated with the Emory University School of Medicine. The hospital is the only pediatric Level 1 trauma center in the state, has one of the largest pediatric cardiothoracic surgery and solid-organ transplant programs in the country, and serves as a leader in advance technologies, including pediatric ECMO. Fellows rotate through a 36-bed medical-surgical PICU and a 27-bed cardiac ICU. We currently have a complement of 12 fellows.
