MAJOR FEATURES OF TRAINING PROGRAM: The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers Pediatric Infectious Disease fellowship training with 1 position available each year. The goals of our 3-year ACGME- accredited program are to train fellows to become outstanding, independent physicians or physician-scientists and to prepare them for academic careers. We can also accommodate dual training for Med/Peds trained residents in collaboration with our Adult Infectious Diseases program. Our trainees see patients at all major hospitals in Madison, though primary activities are at the state-of-the-art American Family Children’s Hospital, and we draw referrals from a 5 state region. For their scholarly work, fellows may pursue a variety of basic science, translational, clinical, and public health projects. There are scholarly opportunities available within our division, the Department of Medicine, the campus-wide Global Health Institute, and with the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene and Dept of Health Services. In depth research experience is supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH) T32 Training Grant. Training here, you will be part of a dynamic team in a vibrant capital city, frequently ranked among the best places to live in the USA. The UW campus is one of the few where health professional programs and primary hospitals are co-located with the state land-grant university, and collaborative opportunities abound!
