Program Description
The George Donnell Society for Pediatric Scientists is dedicated to improving the health of children by training pediatric scientists to perform innovative and high quality research. The Society provides mentorship, infrastructure, and a community for pediatric scientists in training.
Candidates interviewing for pediatric residency at CHLA who are interested in becoming physician scientists should apply for the Donnell Fellowship. The Donnell Society sponsors one or more Donnell Fellows per year, who are chosen at the beginning of their pediatric internship. Pediatric residency candidates submit a supplemental Donnell application prior to their interviews and are also interviewed by physician scientists in their fields of interest. At the time they are appointed, Donnell Fellows are guaranteed admission into the fellowship program of their choice, though applicants are not required to commit to a specific fellowship program until later in their residency. The Society covers 50 percent of fellows’ salaries during two research years of their fellowship.
Donnell Fellowship candidates will be considered after they are invited to interview for residency at CHLA. If you are interested in applying to The Donnell Fellowship, prior to scheduling your residency interview, please contact us via email at tecpad@chla.usc.edu. For more information, visit The George Donnell Society for Pediatric Scientists website at chla.org/DonnellSociety.
