Thank you for your interest in the Pediatric Surgery Fellowship at the University of Utah. Established in 2011 and ACGME-accredited since 2012, our high-volume, single-fellow program offers an exceptionally immersive training experience at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center and the only dedicated pediatric tertiary and quaternary care facility serving a five-state region (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada).

Our case volume is 72% higher than the national average, providing unmatched exposure to complex neonatal, pediatric, and trauma cases across a vast geographic region. Fellows gain hands-on experience with a diverse, high-acuity patient population, ranging from common pediatric conditions to rare, high-complexity surgical cases, preparing them for independent practice from day one. Supported by more than 30 advanced practice clinicians (APCs), fellows focus exclusively on education, patient care, and research

Training is enhanced through collaboration in multidisciplinary clinics including our Fetal Center, Colorectal Center, and Esophageal & Airway Center. Our nationally recognized faculty are leaders in surgical education and hold key roles within the American Board of Surgery and American Pediatric Surgical Association. This rich academic environment fosters leadership, research, and operative excellence, ensuring our graduates are fully prepared to become the next generation of leaders in pediatric surgery.
