Pediatric Fellowship

Thank you for your interest in the Pediatric Dermatology Fellowship Program at the University of Utah and Primary Children's Hospital.

Our fellowship is an ACGME-accredited 1-year training program designed to prepare pediatric dermatologists for successful careers in both academic and clinical medicine. With our large catchment area, fellows gain extensive experience with a wide range of dermatologic conditions and medically complex patients from Utah and the surrounding states. Graduates from our program excel in providing tertiary-level outpatient care and inpatient consultative services for children with complex skin disorders.

We offer a comprehensive educational curriculum to prepare our fellows for any desired career path. Our program includes weekly case conferences, journal clubs, didactic lectures, invited speakers, grand rounds, and a board review series. We also provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities through pediatric subspecialty fellow lecture series and multidisciplinary conferences. We provide mentorship for career development and academic research, with research opportunities available within and outside the department based on the fellow’s interests.

We take pride in fostering a supportive culture dedicated to a lifelong commitment to growth and care. We are committed to caring for ourselves, each other, and our patients. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you to our fellowship program and supporting your development as a leader in pediatric dermatology.

Program Locations

Most of the fellow’s clinical time is spent in the outpatient and inpatient settings of Primary Children’s Hospital, a free-standing children’s hospital, and the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma center serving a five-state region. We also care for patients with severe cutaneous adverse reactions at the University of Utah Burn Center, where we provide top-quality care in coordination with our expert Burn team.
