How to Apply

Adolescent Medicine Fellowship

Prerequisites


Qualified applicants must complete an ACGME-accredited, Pediatrics, Med-Peds, Internal Medicine, or Family Medicine residency program prior to beginning the fellowship.   All candidates must have passed Step 3 prior to being ranked.

International applicants


Children's Mercy primarily accepts applicants with J-1 Visa status. To be eligible for appointment, all international citizens must be sponsored by the ECFMG for the J-1 non-immigrant Visa classification and have and maintain valid ECFMG certification throughout the length of their training program. Applicants must also have participated in a US ACGME accredited residency program. In some cases, Children's Mercy will sponsor an H-1B Visa.

Changing immigrant status


Residents and fellows who wish to change their immigration classification while pursuing a graduate medical training program at Children's Mercy must seek prior written approval from the GME Department. Failure to seek such approval will subject the trainee to immediate termination from his/her training program. 

Application process


The Adolescent Medicine Fellowship participates in the National Resident Matching Program. Prospective candidates should apply through the Electronic Residency Application Services. Specific application requirements and materials are available through the ERAS system.
