Pediatric Surgery Subspecialty Fellowship Recruitment

As match day for pediatric surgery fellowship is approaching, the APSTPD wants to fully support all the applicants who matched or did not match into fellowships.

As you know, any unmatched pediatric surgery candidates pursue subspecialty fellowships to strengthen their applications as well as begin their pediatric surgery clinical training. We recognize that the recruitment process can feel rushed and stressful for many applicants to find the right next step in their journey. As such, the Association of Pediatric Surgery Training Directors (APSTPD) in conjunction with the subspecialty programs have developed recruitment guidelines and timeline. These include a “no contact” and “no offer” periods to allow applicants to fully vet their opportunities.

We recognize that this may be a challenging time for some and hope this process will be smooth and uneventful.
