One unique aspect of our program is that when Fellows pursue higher education degrees or certificates, they have 50% of their time protected for their studies and research. This applies to all three years of fellowship.

Research Responsibilities
Research Responsibilities
The research rotations aim to allow each fellow to train and gain experience over three years to develop competency in research principles. Our program encourages participation in degree programs such as MS-CR, MPH, and MS- Epidemiology. You can visit our university website for program requirements. Enrollment in the Physician Educator Certificate Program is also an option for fellows interested in gaining education skills for their academic careers.

The skills acquired through these scholarly experiences provide our fellows with research training and exposure to develop careers as physician-scientists. These experiences also introduce them to concepts of hypothesis-driven research and encourage active participation in the profession’s national societies. The vast resources and experience at Texas Medical Center allow trainees unique opportunities for clinical and basic science research.

Research Rotation
Research Rotation
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Adolescent Medicine Fellowship provides a minimum of 18 months of “research” rotations throughout the three-year fellowship. The fellow is expected to identify, participate in, and complete a scholarly activity as described by the American Board of Pediatrics. Coursework counts toward this research time.
The ABP has expanded project options but has not diluted the rigor expected. Scholarly activity can include, but is not limited to, clinical research, basic science research, meta-analysis, Cochrane review, Quality improvement project, educational curriculum design, and Master’s level program with a thesis.
The Divisional Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC) provides oversight of all scholarly activity.
Educational Responsibilities
Educational Responsibilities
There are various educational conferences for and provided to the fellows developed by the adolescent division, FAMLI national fellowship network, pediatric department, and McGovern. We prioritize fellow learning through providing formalized learning in various educational settings (i.e., didactic, tutorial, formal courses, workshops, simulation) to enrich the clinical experience and further develop the fellows’ skills in the six core competencies and scholarly requirements for fellowship training. Select conferences focus on providing fellows with the knowledge needed for the practice of adolescent medicine and board certification.
