Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship Program

“As a Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellow at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, I had the opportunity to build my clinical educator skills by pursuing Med Ed research, the flexibility in schedule to pursue electives that truly fit my clinical goals, and the support of faculty especially Dr. Cantu who eagerly introduced me to the wide variety of roles Hospitalists embody within the Hospital structure. If you want to experience an individualized fellowship experience in a large training facility with your goals as the driving force, the Pediatric Hospital Medicine fellowship at Arkansas Children’s Hospital is a great choice!” –Satvika Mikkilineni (‘25) 

“I absolutely loved my time as a PHM fellow at ACH! It was truly the people that made it some of the best years of my medical training. Dr. Cantu is incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to create a fellowship experience tailored to my interests and goals – including creating new electives. You can tell that every faculty member genuinely enjoys teaching and was invested in helping me become the best pediatric hospitalist I could be. I not only gained lifelong mentors through this program, but also lifelong friends. I can’t recommend this fellowship program enough!” — Cindy Nguyen (‘24) 

“One of my favorite things about our fellowship is the people– you truly feel like you belong and are part of a family from day one with faculty who are accessible, welcoming, and always in your corner. Our section has an incredibly wide range of interests and expertise, and you are supported in whatever you want your career to look like. Even if no one here has done exactly what you’re interested in, someone almost always knows someone who has and will help make that connection. Our faculty are genuinely excited to learn alongside you, help you find the right opportunities and mentors, and eventually let you become the expert who teaches the rest of us.” –Morgan Cantor (‘26) 

“What I love most about our fellowship is how supported I feel while still being given the autonomy to grow into the kind of hospitalist I want to be. Our faculty are incredibly approachable and genuinely invested in our goals and the camaraderie makes coming to work fun!  ” –Kate Childers, (‘28) 

“The people are my favorite part of our fellowship program! The camaraderie in the office creates a supportive, collaborative, and safe environment where you feel like you’re a part of the team. Our leadership and faculty are genuinely invested in individualized mentorship. Whether you are interested in med ed, QI, advocacy, patient safety, or all of the above, there is more than one person available and eager to guide you. ” –Brittany McWatters (‘27)
