How To Apply

Please note, we will be accepting applications for the upcoming ERAS recruitment cycle.

Applicants must possess a MD or DO degree and be eligible to obtain licensure to practice medicine in the state of Illinois.  The candidate must be a resident in Pediatrics (PL3 or higher) or have completed Pediatric Residency training at an ACGME-accredited program.  Upon completion of training, candidates must be eligible to take the American Board of Pediatrics Board examination.  The University of Chicago is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.  We encourage applications from under-represented minorities. 

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis as of the program start date.  For those requiring sponsorship, only J-1 visas will be accepted during the 2027 ERAS season.

Our program enthusiastically welcomes applications from Medicine/Pediatrics residents who wish to pursue a combined fellowship experience. Please contact David Zhang, MD, Fellowship Program Director, at david.zhang2@bsd.uchicago.edu for inquiries.
