Cardiology
The Division of Pediatric Cardiology at OHSU includes an eleven-member faculty headed by Dr. Mark Reller, two nurse practitioners, four fellows, and numerous nurses, technicians and administrative staff. Expertise in all of the sub-specialties within Pediatric Cardiology is represented in our faculty. We provide comprehensive, innovative care to patients with all forms of congenital or acquired heart disease referred to our center from hospitals and physicians throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Our Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgical Program is directed by Dr. Ross Ungerleider, assisted by Dr. Karl Welke and Richard Reed, PA. Our team performs all state-of-the-art pediatric cardiac surgical procedures with the exception of heart transplantation.
The goal of our Fellowship Training Program is to provide a comprehensive foundation of knowledge and experience to academically oriented trainees. Fellows are trained in all aspects of pediatric cardiology and work at a pace which is appropriately challenging, while still able to facilitate the educational opportunity in each experience. Our program produces exceptionally trained graduates with the skills and opportunities to become leaders in any aspect of the field.
The Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program is a three-year ACGME-accredited training program. We offer fourth year sub-specialty fellowships in echocardiography, interventional catheterization and adult congenital heart disease on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, or Jodi Leonard, our Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Coordinator, at 503-494-2194 or by e-mail.
We are currently accepting fellowship applications for one position beginning July 2009. The application may be downloaded using the link to our website located on the left. We recommend that you return your application by January 1st. Our Division uses the National Residency Matching Program. Deadlines and other information may be found on their website at www.nrmp.org If you have any questions, please contact our Fellowship Coordinator, Jodi Leonard ( leonarjo@ohsu.edu ) or (503) 494-2194.

Developmental Pediatrics
The American Board of Pediatrics recently established certification in two separate developmental subspecialties: Neurodevelopmental Disabilities and Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics.
Neurodevelopmental Disabilities is a conjoint program with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and emphasizes neuromotor development and developmental disabilities. Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics is under the sole auspices of the American Board of Pediatrics and focuses on psychosocial development and behavioral problems. Requirements for these two training programs are being developed. The OHSU Developmental Pediatrics faculty expect to implement one or both new programs by the 2003-2004 academic year. Our goal is to prepare fellows for leadership positions in academic medicine or clinical services and for board certification in their chosen field, either Neurodevelopmental Disabilities or Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics.
The current program has two or three fellows total and is designed for three years. When two training programs are established, we expect to have one or two fellows in each program (three to four total). The training program is strongly interdisciplinary; participation in community projects/programs is a vital component. The fellowship emphasizes clinical training and research. The primary medical faculty includes clinicians in Child Neurology, Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, and Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics. The group is eclectic and our research interests are varied. We work closely with colleagues in related disciplines, such as Metabolism and Genetics, so research opportunities are virtually endless.

Endocrinology
The Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program is a comprehensive three-year program. The first year focuses on developing key clinical skills and acquiring the basics of pediatric endocrinology. During the first year, the Pediatric Endocrine Fellow develops a clinical research project with the assistance of a faculty mentor.
During the second and third years, approximately 80% of the fellow's time is spent in basic science research with 20% in clinical responsibilities. In addition to the general Endocrine clinic schedule, the second and third year fellows have their own clinic schedules. This allows the fellow, under the supervision of staff pediatric endocrinologists, to follow their own patients from initial diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. This program's goal is to prepare fellows for board certification and a successful career in pediatric endocrinology.

Hematology & Oncology
The three-year ACGME-accredited Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship training program provides comprehensive clinical and research experience in all areas of blood and malignant disorders of children and adolescents. It is the only such training program in Oregon and serves as the principal referral center for patients from Oregon and southwestern Washington state. It is an active member of the Children's Oncology Group (COG), one of only 21 nationally designated Phase I Centers within COG, and the only Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Program in the state. The training program's focus is to provide a well-structured, supportive, and challenging environment for trainees.

Metabolism
The metabolic fellowship program is part of the OHSU Medical Genetics Residency program. We offer a fully accredited program leading to certification by the American Board of Medical Genetics. Training includes exposure to a broad variety of inborn errors of metabolism in the outpatient metabolic clinic based at Doernbecher Childrens Hospital™. We provide inpatient consultation to the OHSU and greater Portland medical community. In addition to their clinical training, fellows spend time in the biochemical genetics lab learning techniques such as organic and amino acid analysis and other techniques required to direct a biochemical genetics lab.
The Division of Metabolism has a very active research program that includes both clinical and basic research. We are currently involved in clinical trials of enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease, Hurler syndrome, Fabry disease, and MPS VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), and have additional clinical studies on disorders of fatty acid oxidation. Basic research includes studies of mitochondrial function, development of stem cell and gene therapy, and studies of cholesterol biosynthesis and its association with inherited disorders such as the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. The training program includes many opportunities for research.

Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine
Our fellowship program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The program consists of three years of clinical and research experience. The fellows rotate in having the clinical responsibilities of daytime first-line back-up to residents and the transport organization. Night and weekend first-line back-up and transport calls are shared by the fellows and full-time staff.
At least 60% of the fellows' time is protected for research, reading, and clinical projects. The research training of our fellows involves projects in either clinical or basic research. Weekly seminars provide instruction in the development of a research project, including hypothesis, design, sample size, statistics, and grant writing.
Clinical training is provided in the Doernbecher Neonatal Care Center and the labor/delivery service. Because our hospital serves as a major referral center, fellows will benefit from exposure to a full spectrum of fetal and neonatal diseases. A conference and seminar program in fetal and neonatal medicine covers topics such as placental function, fetal physiology, embryology, teratology, genetics and prenatal diagnosis, pharmacology, maternal endocrinology, parturition, fetal/neonatal organ function, and management of neonatal diseases.
