trainees chose to do additional training/research; the remaining trainees entered into clinical practice. Of the graduating<br />
fellows, 46% received peer-reviewed funding for their fellowship research project (e.g., the American Academy of Pediatrics)<br />
and sixteen published peer-reviewed manuscripts prior to completing their training. This group also presented 46 abstracts<br />
at regional, national or international meetings during their senior year.<br />
Separate conferences have been established to meet the special needs of the 1st year fellows and the 2nd-3rd year fellows<br />
during August and September of each year. Our second year trainees presented their research in the second half of the Core<br />
Curriculum in order to receive timely critical review from their peers and the faculty at an early stage in their research efforts.<br />
A notable change in our Training Program was the establishment of a Senior <strong>Fellow</strong>s’ Research Day in 2010. During the 2 nd<br />
Annual Senior <strong>Fellow</strong>s’ Research Day in May 2011, there were 21 poster presentations and five oral presentations, the latter<br />
chosen after abstract reviews by the Faculty. This was followed by a dinner for all Trainees, Mentors, Program Directors and<br />
Division Directors and a presentation by Dr. Alfred G. Gilman, MD, PhD, a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and<br />
Chief Scientific Officer of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). The 2011 Senior <strong>Fellow</strong>s’ Research<br />
Day awards were given for best oral and poster presentations. Award winners were Dr. Nathan C. Sundgren (Oral); Drs. Amy<br />
Fowler (Poster) and Diana Zepeda-Orozco (Poster).<br />
The future of pediatric subspecialty training continues to change at <strong>UT</strong> <strong>Southwestern</strong>. We look forward to continued<br />
growth and success with our <strong>Fellow</strong>ship Programs well into the 21st century within the Department of Pediatrics at the <strong>UT</strong><br />
<strong>Southwestern</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> School.<br />
