The division of Pediatric Surgery offers a two-year fellowship in Pediatric Surgery. One new resident is chosen each year through the National Resident Matching Program. To date, over 50 Pediatric Surgery Residents have been trained in the division. The Pediatric Surgery Residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is one of the more renowned programs in the United States.
During the training period, the resident assumes graded responsibility and is exposed to the entire spectrum of pediatric surgery, including trauma, neonatal surgery, transplantation, bariatric surgery, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, fetal intervention, and advanced anorectal reconstruction.
The Division of Pediatric Surgery includes 19 full-time pediatric surgeons, 6 PhD researchers, 16 nurse practitioners, general surgery residents from three different programs in Cincinnati, and medical students. The operating room is one of the busiest in the country with over 35,000 cases performed annually. The emergency department evaluates over 100,000 patients each year. Each resident completes approximately 1,100 pediatric surgery cases during their residency. In addition to training the accredited pediatric surgery fellows, the division offers year-long advanced training experiences in Trauma/Critical Care, Fetal Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Vascular Malformations/ Oncology, and Basic Science Research.
We have expanded our Subspecialty Fellowship Program by adding the option to obtain a Master’s Degree from the University of Cincinnati. This optional educational offering will coincide with fellowship. This option requires a two-year commitment which would include clinical and Master’s degree work.
The Master’s degree programs that we offer are:
We also offer a two-year experience for an International Fellow as well as a one or two-year training experience in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).
