Selection of Pediatric Pulmonology FellowsWashington University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, and the Division of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonary Medicine all strive to provide excellence in graduate medical education. Many factors contribute to the realization of this goal. Residency and fellowship programs at this campus have traditionally attracted very strong applicant pools, and we are committed to the practice of carefully screening and selecting those applicants who are best qualified to participate and succeed in the programs based on their academic achievements and personal and professional characteristics. The process used by the Division is as follows: All applicants must provide the review committee with the following: - Completed application
- Curriculum vitae
- Three letters of recommendation or completed verification of qualification forms
- Academic credentials, which include transcripts from medical school, documentation of participation in any other graduate medical education experiences, or clinical work as a physician
- Evidence of progress toward American Board of Pediatrics board eligibility or certification, documentation of credentials similar to board certification or board eligibility in another country, but only if the position is non-ACGME-accredited
- We participate in the pediatric pulmonology fellowship match, and all applicants to our program must register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Specialties Matching Service
The Pulmonology Fellowship Training Program is a 3-year program offered for advanced, subspecialty training beyond the residency level. The program is designed to provide pediatricians with extensive training and experience in basic research, clinical investigation, and diagnostic procedures, leading to board certification in pediatric pulmonology. It provides an extraordinary environment for the development of pulmonary clinicians and physician-scientists. Our program is supported by National Institutes of Health training grants (T32), which have strict citizenship requirements. Thus, individuals applying to the Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Training Program should be a citizen or a non-citizen national of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. The following categories of applicants are eligible for consideration for appointment to the pediatric pulmonology fellowship program: - Graduates of medical school in the United States or Canada accredited by the LCME or AOA, and who have successfully completed or are in the process of completing residency training in pediatrics.
- Graduates of medical schools and residency outside the the United States and Canada who have completed Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the USMLE, recently received a currently valid certificate from the ECFMG, or possess a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a United States licensing jurisdiction, and who have completed or are in the process of completing pediatric residency training
- American citizen graduates from medical schools outside the United States and Canada who have successfully completed the licensure examination in a United States jurisdiction in which the laws and regulations provide that a full and unrestricted license to practice will be granted without further examination after successful completion of a specified period of graduate medical education
All candidates who are not citizens of the United States, including Canadian medical school graduates, must meet the requirements of the INS for training in this country. Applicants are selected for interviews based on their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills, and personal qualities such as motivation and integrity. The pediatric pulmonology fellowship training program does not discriminate with regard to sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, or veteran status. The program director, after consultation with faculty members who have interviewed the applicants, will review the qualifications of each applicant and determine the individual’s suitability for the program. If after review the applicant is deemed qualified, a fellowship position will be offered in writing.
