Infectious Diseases Fellowship

Why consider a Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship at UNMC/Children’s Nebraska?

Our fellowship offers a balanced, high-quality training experience grounded in strong clinical exposure, supportive mentorship, and meaningful scholarly opportunities.

Clinical Excellence Across Diverse Settings
Fellows gain broad and robust inpatient consultation experience at tertiary referral centers, caring for critically ill children across a wide spectrum of conditions. This includes complex infections in surgical and trauma patients, as well as immunocompromised hosts such as solid organ transplant recipients (heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, and small bowel). Clinical experience also encompasses the evaluation and management of tuberculosis infections and exposures as well as the care of children and adolescents living with HIV, including the use of long-acting injectable therapies. Fellows are additionally exposed to emerging approaches to antibiotic-resistant infections, including bacteriophage therapy.

Supportive, Nationally Recognized Faculty
Our faculty are nationally recognized and deeply committed to fellow education. They are approachable, engaged mentors with diverse clinical and research interests who prioritize individualized training and career development.

Additional opportunities include:

• Collaboration with the Child Health Research Institute, a join initiative between UNMC and Children’s Nebraska focused on improving child health outcomes
• Access to internal funding mechanisms, including CHRI grants

Combined Med-Peds ID Fellowship
