Same thing as last year! Good luck to everyone applying for the 2025 peds fellowship! Thought I'd start the thread for this application cycle. Anyone starting to hear back from programs?
I forwarded this article to a pediatric anesthesiology fellowship director who has no applicants this year hoping that it brightens her day. Unfortunately the strong job market seems to hit pediatric fellowships the hardest. 🙁![]()

A few years ago the peds anesthesia job market was really tight (for half to full peds), and now it’s great - which is good because it allows for better job mobility. I make less than most full time generalists for sure… but my work truly brings me joy every day because I know I’m helping kids and because the environment is so positive. That said, I’d be even happier with a raise.Hopefully it will lead to an even better job market for pediatric anesthesiologists in the future and the tide will turn. Another obvious way to attract fellows would be to pay them more.
