UNMC Med-Peds ID Fellowship

Established in 2010, the UNMC Med-Peds Infectious Diseases (ID) Fellowship provides robust and broad clinical training in infectious diseases with nationally recognized faculty, including four Med-Peds ID faculty members, abundant mentored research prospects and unique opportunities surrounding global health and bio-preparedness at UNMC and Children’s Nebraska. 

The UNMC Med-Peds ID Fellowship is a four-year sequential training program. Fellows train for two years in each categorical program.  Throughout fellowship, our Med-Peds ID fellows are exposed to content relevant to the entire age spectrum, including cases presented at weekly city-wide ID case conferences.  UNMC and Children’s Nebraska are regional medical centers and clinical experiences in the ID fellowships are therefore broad and include dedicated rotations in oncology and transplant populations.  Extensive ambulatory experience occurs in both adult and pediatric settings, covering the breadth of ID including a HIV continuity clinic.  Research experiences are integrated across the two fellowships and Med-Peds ID fellows meet on a regular basis with a dedicated group of adult and pediatric ID faculty mentors chosen by the fellow based on their area(s) of interest. This group comprises the fellow’s Scholarly Oversight Committee (SOC).  The UNMC Med-Peds ID Fellowship meets all requirements for eligibility for both the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) Infectious Diseases board certifications. 

Applicants interested in pursuing a Med-Peds ID Fellowship at UNMC are encouraged to contact Trevor Van Schooneveld, M.D. (adult ID program director) and Andrea Green Hines, M.D. (pediatric ID program director and Med-Peds ID faculty member) with any questions and/or their intent to apply as a Med-Peds ID applicant. Applicants should submit their ERAS® application to both adult and pediatric ID programs and potential interviews will be coordinated between the programs. Both programs also participate in the NRMP® Medicine and Pediatric Specialties Match, and Med-Peds ID candidates rank UNMC adult and pediatric ID fellowship programs separately. However, if a Med-Peds ID candidate matches into one of the UNMC ID fellowship programs, they are guaranteed a position in the other program after the two years of training in the matched program.

UNMC Med-Peds ID Fellowship is open to applications for fellowship start date of July 1, 2025.
