Pediatric Hospital Medicine Current Fellows and Alumni

Fellows have the opportunity for abundant and diverse clinical experiences and faculty mentors, and structured yet flexible fellowship curriculum. Fellows also have the opportunity for community activities on their own and through established Texas Children’s programs.

There is a structured mentor program to promote fellows productivity and career planning, as well as conferences and workshops focused on career planning and academic promotions.

Our graduates have gone on to academic positions at Baylor College of Medicine and other institutions around the country.
