Fellow's Corner

This segment presents topics of interest to anesthesiology trainees interested in pediatric anesthesia and are not endorsed or necessarily representative of the views of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia. In this issue the topic of non-ACGME approved fellowship training programs for pediatric anesthesia is discussed by Dr. Joe Tobin from Wake Forest University. This topic is relevant in light of both the high demand for pediatric anesthesiologists and the increase in residents seeking post-anesthesiology residency training positions. The result of which has led to an increase in the number of people seeking and accepting unapproved fellowships. To provide a balanced view, this same topic will be discussed in the next issue by a member of the ACGME section for pediatric anesthesia. As always, please e-mail any commentary you have and I will be happy to add it to the next newsletter.

Fellows corner is an excellent opportunity for future pediatric anesthesiologist to present their viewpoint or ask question about articles, current controversies in anesthesia, or fellowship training. Additionally, it allows trainees an early exposure to the SPA. Questions, commentary or reviews can be sent to jeffrey.galinkin@uchsc.edu. Include your name and hospital affiliation and whether you want these included if printed.
