Come join us in vibrant and beautiful Madison, Wisconsin for Pediatric Critical Care Medicine training!
UW Health American Family Children’s Hospital (AFCH), in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicina and Public Health, is accepting applications for a 1st year fellow to join our established ACGME-accredited Pediatric Critical Care Medicine program in July 2026. The AFCH PICU is a 25-bed, high-acuity, mixed ICU that admits approximately 1100 admissions per year, with roughly 25% of those admissions representing children with heart disease. Fellows lead multidisciplinary care in the PICU on both med/surg and cardiac ICU services for children experiencing a wide range of critical illnesses, including those requiring extracorporeal membranous oxygenation, renal replacement therapies, solid organ or bone marrow transplantation, among others. The program supports fellows’ pursuit of wide-ranging academic interests, such as clinical or translational research, quality improvement science, curriculum development, and healthcare simulation. A diverse and expanding faculty pool provides ample opportunity for mentorship in a collaborative setting. Upcoming changes include our move to a new PICU space in early 2027.
Applicants must be motivated graduates (or anticipated graduates) of ACGME-accredited pediatric (or medicine-pediatric) residency programs eligible for medical licensure in Wisconsin. Please contact our Program Coordinator, Chelsea Schaack (caschaack@pediatrics.wisc.edu), for further information on the application process.
