More great news for fellows! The Child Health Investigative Forum (CHIF) will be replaced by the Fellows’ Round Table. The Fellows’ Round Table will be an interactive session for pediatric fellows from all divisions to present their scholarly work (either planned, ongoing, or completed) and receive feedback from other fellows and faculty, in order to improve research proposals, develop presentation skills, and promote cross-divisional interactions and collaborations.

The Round Table will be held in the Bradley Center from 12-1 p.m. two Fridays per month (usually the first and third Fridays). All fellows are expected to attend the Round Table, unless they are post-call or in alternate essential clinical or academic activities, if permitted by their Fellowship Program Director. Round Table sessions will be structured to include two brief fellow platform presentations, each followed by group discussions focused on strengths, areas needing improvement and future directions/opportunities for collaboration.  

As with CHIF, one fellow will be selected annually for the Fellow Core Conference Attendance Award. This allows the fellow to attend a scientific meeting of their choice, within the continental United States. The Department will reimburse expenses for registration, airfare, food and lodging up to a maximum of $1500.
