How to Apply

Fellows are required to have completed an ACGME-accredited pediatric or combined pediatric-internal medicine residency program.  All candidates must have passed Step 3.

Applicants can apply through ERAS.

The Children's Mercy Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship Program participates in the National Residency Matching Program.  The Match opens in August.

International Applicants

Children's Mercy primarily accepts applicants with J-1 Visa status. To be eligible for appointment, all international citizens must be sponsored by the ECFMG for the J-1 non-immigrant Visa classification and have and maintain valid ECFMG certification throughout the length of their training program. Applicants must also have participated in a US ACGME accredited residency program. In some cases, Children's Mercy will sponsor an H-1B Visa.

Changing Immigrant Status

Residents and fellows who wish to change their immigration classification while pursuing a graduate medical training program at Children's Mercy must seek prior written approval from the GME Department. Failure to seek such approval will subject the trainee to immediate termination from his/her training program.
