Applicants must have completed three years of ACGME-accredited residency training in pediatrics prior to starting fellowship. Applicant interviews will be held in September and October.<\/p>\n<p>The program is designed to train academic pediatric gastroenterologists that excel in both clinical and research skills. Depending on the individual\u2019s interest, fellows have the choice to learn and become independent investigators in clinical, basic, and translational research. Most of our fellows have opted to pursue master degrees in clinical research or public health. Tuition is supported by the Division and\/or T32 programs (for US citizens and permanent residents). All training will take place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the UNC Health Care System. Fellows have the option of elective time at Duke for rotations in liver transplantation and pediatric motility.<\/p>\n<p>The first year of our program is primarily dedicated to clinical training. Our fellows gain hands-on experience through our inpatient service, our outpatient clinics, consults to other services and by performing endoscopic procedures. Fellows participate in the teaching of medical students, residents and in weekly conferences. First-year fellows choose a mentor and scholarly activity committee (SOC) members. Fellows have three 4-week blocks during their first year to develop their scholarly projects for their second and third year of training.<\/p>\n<p>The second and third years of our program allow for significant protected time for academic and career development. The SOC members provide valuable guidance throughout the years in career development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bs-callout bs-callout-primary\">\n<h2>What Sets our Program Apart?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(33, 18, 199)\">\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">You can take advantage of multiple opportunities for clinical training and scholarship, which include (but are not limited to) programs for master\u2019s degrees in Clinical Research and Public Health, and Clinical Informatics.
