The Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia is a one-year, ACGME-accredited program.

The fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology was created to further specialize clinical training and knowledge in the perioperative care of our very youngest patients, from neonates up to individuals who are 21 years old.

Since 2013, the American Board of Anesthesiology has offered an examination to confirm board certification in the sub-specialty of pediatric anesthesiology. Our goal is to get you ready for an amazing career in the sub-specialty of pediatric anesthesia. We plan to have one fellowship spot per year beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year.
