Pediatric Fellowship & Internship Programs

The Department of Pediatrics offers several subspecialty fellowships and internships that prepare physicians to deliver exceptional care, advance scholarship, and grow as clinician-educators.

Current Fellows & Interns

Overview

We strive to recruit and develop subspecialty pediatricians that provide excellent clinical care for diverse patient populations, serve as outstanding clinician-educators and promote academic and scholarly innovation. Since 2010, we have had over 80 fellows and interns graduate from our programs and go on to pursue careers in 23 different states and Puerto Rico. Approximately a third of our fellow alumni serve as faculty members right here at the University of Louisville.

All of our subspecialty training programs pride themselves in providing:

  • Outstanding Clinical Experiences in state-of-the-art Facilities such as Norton Children’s Hospital and the Novak Center for Children's Health, the outpatient services center
  • A Diverse Patient Population with a Collaborative Interdisciplinary approach
  • Progressive Autonomy with Customizable Experiences as fellows work through training.
  • Top-notch Teaching and Mentorship from a dedicated Faculty, fully invested in fellows’ education and professional development
  • Research Support through the Child and Adolescent Health Research Design and Support Unit (CAHRDS), the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit, and the Pediatric Research Unit – just to name a few.

All fellows and interns are eligible to complete a Master’s or Certificate Program to further their education.
