How to Apply to the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program

To be considered for UT Southwestern’s Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program, applicants must have completed a fully accredited pediatric residency training program in North America and must be board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Pediatrics by the beginning of the fellowship.

We do accept applications from people holding J-1 visas. All graduates of foreign medical schools must possess a valid ECFMG certificate. According to institutional policy, we cannot accept applications from anyone holding any type of H visa at the time of application.

We participate in ERAS and the NRMP match for fellowship positions. Please refer to these websites for specific dates.
