Infectious Disease Fellowship
How to Apply

Applicants for a position in the pediatric ID fellowship training program are encouraged to apply through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Our interview dates for 2014 positions will be in January, February, and March 2013. We try to interview applicants on Tuesdays during these months so that, in addition to interviewing, candidates can experience our clinical and research training conferences. If these dates are not possible, we will work with your schedule to arrange an alternative date.

If you are traveling to Seattle before the official application opens via ERAS and would like to be considered for an interview, please contact us directly to discuss your potential application. Minorities, under-represented in academic pediatrics, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Selection of applicants is usually completed by the beginning of April of the year before the training program would begin (e.g. April 2013 for fellowship training beginning in July 2014). To be eligible for the Pediatric Infectious Disease Fellowship, funded by the National Institutes of Health, applicants must be either a United States citizen or permanent resident. Support is provided by NIH-sponsored training grants or awards from private foundations. Seattle Children's Hospital is an equal opportunity employer.

Documents to submit via ERAS include:

• The completed Common Application Form
• At least 3 letters of recommendation (including a program director's letter)
• A personal statement about why you are interested in a career in infectious disease
• A photograph
• USMLE and /or COMPLEX transcripts
• MSPE/Dean’s letter and medical school transcripts

Applications must be submitted online using the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
