The Miami Transplant Institute Pediatric Center at Holtz Children’s Hospital is one of the largest, most comprehensive and technologically advanced pediatric transplant centers in the nation. It continues to be one of the top three transplant centers in the world for volume and outcomes for pediatric livers, and is the only intestinal and multivisceral transplant program in the Southeastern United States.
Each fellow will rotate through the Holtz Children’s Hospital Level IV neonatal intensive care unit (the largest in Florida and 4th largest in the US), as well as the pediatric and cardiac intensive care units. They will also participate in multidisciplinary rounds, lectures and presentations with the intensive care team.

Clinical Experience
Year 1
Clinical training in pediatric anesthesiology is spent caring for pediatric patients in the operating rooms, other anesthetizing areas and in intensive care units. This includes experience providing anesthesia for inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, non-operative procedures and pre- and post-anesthesia care.
Within the pediatric cardiac surgery rotation, the pediatric anesthesiology fellow focuses on the anesthetic requirements and support for surgical and interventional correction of congenital heart diseases in newborns, children and young adults.
The specialty curriculum allows for full participation in educational and scholarly activities within the training program, along with opportunities to develop research projects. The curriculum focuses on topics specific to pediatric patients and anesthetic management, and is emphasized during board question and answer sessions, journal club reviews and weekly didactic lectures.
Fellows are asked to participate in weekly pediatric anesthesiology conferences and present an advanced clinical cardiovascular topic once a month, moderated by the pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists. They also participate in pediatric solid organ transplant conferences, pediatric cardiac surgical conferences and pediatric anesthesia simulation activities.
The pediatric anesthesia fellow will have full access to the library, research and computer facilities within the Department of Anesthesiology. They will be expected to participate in research projects, patient safety initiatives and quality assessment and improvement activities during their fellowship year where they will have the assistance of the department’s full-time research staff.
