Positions

One categorical position is available on a competitive basis each year in the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota.

Qualifications

You may apply to the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship if you are in training or have successfully completed a fully accredited residency program in general pediatrics or combined medicine and pediatrics in the U.S. or Canada.

Also see general admissions requirements for Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education.

Fellowship start date

The Council of Pediatric Subspecialties (CoPS) has recommended that pediatric subspecialty fellowships should start no earlier than July 7 each year. This start date would allow for an easier transition from residency to fellowship for most trainees, with programs likely benefiting as well.

At Mayo Clinic, we recognize how difficult it can be for residents to complete their training, move to a new city, and join a subspecialty division for the first time. The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship starts July 7 in accordance with the council's recommendations.

If you have any questions or concerns about this change in start date and what it might mean for you, refer to the CoPS statement or contact the fellowship's educational program coordinator at 507-284-3379.

How to apply

The academic year begins in July.

The application and all supporting documentation must be submitted by Sept. 30 of the year preceding the program start date.

You must apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) for fellowship applicants.

1. Visit the ERAS for fellowship applicants website. All applications to Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education programs must include these application materials.
2. Appointments are made through the Pediatric Specialties Fall Match, which is sponsored by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). You must register for the match in addition to applying through ERAS.
3. Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited to visit Mayo Clinic for a personal interview with the program director and selected faculty. Interviews are conducted between August and October each year.
