The UAB Division of Pediatric Surgery offers two fellowships to interested trainees: the Pediatric Surgery Fellowship, which is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and the Pediatric Endoscopic Surgery Fellowship, which is not accredited by the ACGME. Each fellowship provides trainees with clinical experience in pediatric surgery and spans from one to two years.
