Pediatric Infectious Disease Program : Applications

Applications

Applicants for a position in the training program are encouraged to provide a completed application by January 1st of the year before they anticipate beginning their training (e.g., January 1, 2010 for July 1, 2011). Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to arrange an interview to visit Seattle to meet with the program faculty. Interviews will be offered December through March, as we participate in ERAS. Selection of applicants is usually completed by the end of April of the year before the program would begin. Minorities, under-represented in academic pediatrics, are encouraged to apply. Support is provided by NIH-sponsored training grants or awards from private foundations.

To be eligible for the Pediatric Infectious Disease Fellowship, funded by the National Institutes of Health, either United States citizenship or permanent residency is required. Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center is an equal opportunity employer.

At least 3 letters of recommendation (including a program director's letter)
A personal statement about why you are interested in a career in infectious disease
