PA Fellowship in Pediatric Urgent Care

Our post-graduate fellowship offers a unique six month program for those interested in providing care to children and their families in the Pediatric Urgent Care setting. With the evolving health care system, the need for knowledgeable providers and thoughtful leaders continues to be essential.

The program supports new PA or NP graduates or those interested in moving from another specialty through a robust curriculum including clinical rotations, skills-based workshops, informative lectures, immersion into dynamic clinical teams, and direct mentoring.

Power partnership

The Fellowship in Pediatric Urgent Care is a collaboration between Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences At Old Dominion University and Children’s Specialty Group (CSG) – one of the largest pediatric specialty medicine practices in Virginia. Fellows receive a generous monthly stipend as a CSG employee.
