How to Apply

Application Process

The pediatric critical care fellowship program at UAMS/ACH participates in the NRMP fellowship match.

We are approved by ACGME for a total of nine pediatric critical care fellows. We accept applications each July via E.R.A.S. application system.

In order to be considered, the applicant must have completed an accredited three-year pediatric or internal medicine-pediatric residency by the beginning of the fellowship program. Fellowship applicants must be board certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) or must be eligible to sit for the ABP general pediatric examination during the first year of fellowship training.

Applicants that have completed a prior pediatric fellowship will be considered for a two-year fellowship program.
