Application Process
We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Upon receipt of your ERAS application, the Fellowship Selection Committee will review your application. In addition to the requirements set forth by ERAS, there are specific pediatric anesthesia fellowship questions which should be used instead of a standard personal statement.
Question 1:
What particular personal qualifications and characteristics will allow you to become an effective consultant in pediatric anesthesiology, and why is it important to you to become a pediatric anesthesiologist?
Question 2:
Please choose two of the following questions and answer each one. Please be sure to copy and paste the question you have chosen to answer just above each response.
2a. How will completion of a pediatric anesthesiology fellowship allow you to further your goals?
2b. Describe what you consider to be your most significant contribution or achievement, including the impact you made.
2c. Being a part of hospital leadership should be important to anesthesiologists. What role do you think you might take within the leadership structure of your future hospital?
2d. Describe a challenging situation in your life or career and what you learned from it.
