Non-Standard Pathways:
In addition to the standard three-year Fellowship Program, we offer two-year advanced training program positions and dual subspeciality training. For more information on these non-standard training pathways please visit the American Board of Pediatrics site here. Please let program leadership know if you are interested in either of these options.
UT Southwestern offers a unique opportunity for physicians interested in becoming leaders in development and implementation of clinical information systems. We partner with the ACGME accredited Clinical Informatics Fellowship for integrated or sequential training, for eligible candidates.
