The GW Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship Program

1-Year Fellow position at Children's National Hospital,

This one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship includes training in all subspecialty areas: cardiac anesthesiology, neuroanesthesia, regional anesthesia, pain medicine, critical care medicine, with exposure to neonatology and emergency medicine.

The Division of Anesthesiology, Pain and Perioperative Medicine at Children's National provides comprehensive clinical anesthesia services for infants and children undergoing a full range of surgical procedures for congenital heart disease, heart transplantation, craniofacial malformations, laryngotracheal abnormalities, and neonatal emergencies.

Outside of the operating room, fellows participate in patient care in the radiology, oncology, preoperative care clinic, and chronic pain clinic. Didactics and other instructional activities such as simulation, round-table discussions, workshops, journal clubs, and one-on-one teaching are integral to the daily experience.
