About This Program
The Pediatric Surgery Fellowship Program at Seattle Children's Hospital and University of Washington is unique in the vast region that we serve. We are a quarternary referral center for children throughout the WAMI (Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho) region and also serve children from Oregon, Hawaii, and beyond. This large geographical catchment area provides our fellows with a robust exposure to the wide variety of index-level diagnoses and surgical cases unique to pediatric surgery.
