Education & Training
The Department of Pediatrics provides wide-ranging educational opportunities to medical students, residents, postdoctoral fellows, and other health care professionals. Our programs go beyond sharing knowledge. Students and residents gain an excitement for learning that leads them to refine and pursue deeper questions along the way.
More than a dozen medical specialties at UT Southwestern provide education and training in Pediatrics, including fellowships aimed at preparing fellows for academic careers.
Detailed information about those individual education and training programs can be found on the division’s websites:
Mentored Research Training for Residents
Pediatrics residents are eligible for University of Texas - Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (UT-StARR), a mentored research training program. UT-StARR prepares residents for careers as physician-investigators conducting laboratory, translational, clinical, or population health research focused on heart, lung, and blood diseases across the lifespan.
