Anesthesia Fellowship and Residency

The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University School of Medicine’s Pediatric Anesthesia Fellowship is a one-year program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). It is designed to provide fellows the opportunity to develop skills in clinical care and judgment, teaching, administration and research.

The goal of our fellowship program is to produce anesthesiologists with expertise in all areas of pediatric anesthesiology, including critical care, pain management and advanced life support. Clinical rotations are performed at Children's Egleston Hospital. Our program offers some flexibility in rotations to meet personal interests.

Below is a snapshot of our fellowship curriculum:

Interested applicants should contact the department of anesthesiology at Egleston Hospital. Applications can also be requested on the Emory University Anesthesiology website.

Applications should generally be received in the fall of the year before the fellowship begins, and interviews are extended as early as that September.

Resident physicians in anesthesiology should acquire experience and training in the anesthetic management of children of all ages in elective and emergency situations. This experience will include a wide range of surgical cases in all pediatric surgical specialties, with the exception of cardiac anesthesia only being offered to the advanced CA-3 resident physicians.

Residents have the opportunity to acquire sound clinical competence for:

• Pediatric airway
• Pediatric trauma care
• Pre-operative assessment
• Intra-operative management
• Post-operative diagnosis
• Treatment of acute pediatric pain

During the rotation, residents should be able to achieve increasing responsibility for clinical decision-making in pediatric anesthesiology. Participation in didactic training includes attending and conducting teaching conferences in basic pediatric anesthesiology. Residents are expected to complete the ACGME requirements for pediatric anesthesia during this rotation.

House officers are chosen using academic records, letters of recommendation and personal interviews. Only applications submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) are accepted.

The dean’s office requires a copy of your medical school diploma and proof of successful completion of your postgraduate year-1 (PGY-1) training. Residents accepted through the match must have this documentation on file at the beginning of their training.

International graduates must be certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and submit a copy of their Standard ECFMG Certificate. In addition, international graduates must be sponsored by the ECFMG. If you are accepted as a resident, the dean’s office will send you materials you will need to be sponsored by the ECFMG and receive your J-1 visa.
