Pediatric Fellowships at the IU School of Medicine: Rooted in community and driven by excellence

The Department of Pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine offers 18 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education accredited fellowship programs. Each program is designed to help pediatricians develop academic leadership roles in their respective field and develop expert clinical, teaching and research skills. Pediatric fellowship programs at IU offer a high faculty-to-fellow ratio, a collegial atmosphere, and an emphasis on inquiry and scholarship. Personalized scholarship oversight committees and supportive mentorship from faculty physicians help fellows capitalize on their own professional development. Departmental fellowship seminars promote cross-specialty education and peer networking.

Currently educating 63 pediatric fellows, the fellowship programs attract physicians from all over the country. Many candidates come from Mid-American residency programs. “Out of the 23 recent graduating fellows, 10 remained at IU, three went to an additional fellowship program and the remaining 10 went to various hospitals and universities across the country," shared Courtney Rowan, MD, vice chair of education and associate professor of pediatrics at the IU School of Medicine.

With an incredible partnership with Riley Children’s Health, IU School of Medicine fellows have access to state-of-the-art equipment. From a simulation center to inpatient units and hospital spaces, fellows have a unique opportunity to serve some of Indiana’s most vulnerable populations, both rural and urban.
