Fellowship Training

The formal two year training in Pediatric Surgery Residency includes formal rotations in the following specialties:

• Neonatology
• Pediatric Urology
• Pediatric Anesthesiology
• Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

As well, we have developed a series of formalized training sessions for each resident to enhance their training. This includes the following courses offered at our University and outside our hospital. These will help in providing a broad training for the resident, meet RRC requirements and insure the resident will be able to provide the best possible care for their infants and children.

• Fundamentals of Laparoscopy - via our University of Michigan Simulation Center
• Da Vinci Robotic surgery training - via our training robot and Da vinci personnel
• ECMO training course - via our ECMO training team
• Formal training in routine and advanced ventilator support for neonates - via our Respiratory Services team
• Ethics in Pediatric Surgery lecture series

• Outside the hospital, residents will attend:
• St. Jude's Oncology Course, Memphis Tenn.
• Pena Course on Anorectal Malformations, Cincinnati, OH
• American Academy of Pediatrics or American Pediatric Surgery Association yearly meetings

• All residents will be PALS, ATLS and ACLS certified at the start of their training.
