Medical College of Wisconsin Pediatric Surgery Training Program

The scope of the training is broad, with a curriculum that includes comprehensive coverage of the scientific principles that form the basis for the practice of pediatric surgery - from prenatal assessment to young adulthood. The intensive two-year clinical experience offers structured operative and perioperative management of infants, children, and adolescents with problems managed in the contemporary practice of general and thoracic pediatric surgery. The clinical experience encompasses newborn general and thoracic surgery, congenital anomalies, pediatric trauma, burns, critical care, surgical oncology, GI diseases, and the entire spectrum of abdominal, non-cardiac thoracic, urologic, and other clinical problems that fall within the scope of practice for pediatric surgery in the United States. The division supports a Level 1 pediatric trauma program verified by the American College of Surgeons and a busy pediatric burn program. The faculty members in the division include 13 board-certified pediatric surgeons in a single practice group who practice principally at the Children's Wisconsin-Milwaukee Hospital. The fellowship is a two-year clinical endeavor where trainees spend their entire experience at that single facility with tailored elective opportunities to suit the fellow's career goals and needs.
