Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Fellowship

Our Department

Faculty and Fellows

The Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutic Innovation at Children's Mercy Kansas City offers a comprehensive fellowship in Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology.

It is the only pediatric clinical pharmacology program accredited by the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology in the United States, providing opportunities for advanced clinical and research training.
The program encourages research with the involvement of pediatric sub-specialist physicians, other health care professionals, and biomedical scientists committed to the evaluation of drugs in children.
In 2012, a new pediatric clinical research unit opened, giving fellows access to state-of-the-art facilities for research and clinical trials.
In 2022, the fellowship received renewed funding from the National Institutes of Health to continue the program for a five-year cycle. Read more about the NIH funding.
