The mission of the Children’s Mercy Adolescent Medicine Fellowship Program is to train the next generation of physician leaders in adolescent and young adult health by providing a comprehensive, individualized educational experience that empowers fellows to deliver exceptional, evidence-based care to adolescents and young adults from diverse backgrounds.

Our ACGME-accredited 3-year fellowship program is open to physicians trained in pediatrics, family medicine, and/or internal medicine. We offer a modified 2-year fellowship option for physicians with a background in family medicine, internal medicine, or med-peds.
