Message from Program Directors

Thank you for your interest in the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts. Each year, the Pediatric Emergency Department and Children's Medical Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center provide care for thousands of ill and injured children throughout central Massachusetts, as well as New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Our team of board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physicians is proud to offer a world-class fellowship program dedicated to training the next generation of clinicians, educators, and leaders in the field. Fellows learn within a supportive environment tailored to their individual needs and interests, ensuring that whatever path they pursue after fellowship, they are equipped to provide exceptional care and thrive wherever they choose to practice.
In keeping with recommendations from national residency and fellowship leadership organizations, as well as UMass Chan GME best practices, we will be conducting virtual interviews for the upcoming recruitment cycle. This format allows all qualified applicants to pursue our program without the time and financial burden of long-distance travel.
Interviews will be held on select weekday mornings in September and October.
