Our Fellowship Program

The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at UC Davis Medical Center offers a 12-month ACGME-accredited comprehensive Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship. We provide exceptional clinical training in all major areas of the discipline including: congenital cardiac anesthesia, neonatal and congenital disease management, pediatric pain and regional anesthetic management, pediatric critical care, pediatric NORA and ambulatory surgery, and fetal surgery. Fellows routinely participate in simulation sessions at our state-of-the-art Health Care Simulation Center.

At UC Davis, the pediatric anesthesiologists work as part of the multi-disciplinary team taking care of patients suffering from a wide range medical conditions such as congenital and acquired cardiac disease, congenital anomalies, and pediatric trauma. In 2016, UC Davis Children's Hospital became the first hospital on the West Coast and the fourth in the nation to earn verification as a Level 1 Children's Hospital by the American College of Surgeons. UC Davis Children's Hospital is the only Northern California Level 1 Trauma Center with a separate and fully accredited Pediatric Emergency department.



Pediatric Anesthesiologists are available to provide emergent pediatric care on a 24-hour basis. In 2020, nine-month-old conjoined twins were successfully separated at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. Currently, we accept three fellows per year which allows flexibility to tailor the fellow experience to areas of interest or prepare for a specific practice upon graduation. Our program also gives fellows the opportunity to supervise resident cases to prepare them for the supervisory role of an attending whether they choose a career in private practice or academics.
