Join CONNECT Pediatrics

Explore the program and expand your career options

CONNECT Pediatrics can accommodate participation from 7 to 14 students each academic year, which allows for at least 1 to 2 medical students per targeted medical school. Applications are open September 1 to November 1, and there is no cost to participate. The program will launch January 5, 2027, and end January 31, 2028.
The program features 1:2 mentorship—each CONNECT Pediatrics student will be matched with a McGovern medical student interested in pediatrics or a pediatric resident or fellow, plus a faculty member from the Department of Pediatrics. There will be four scheduled meetings with mentors and four signature webinars each year, all held virtually. Participants will be required to complete all four mentor meetings and attend two of the four signature webinars to receive credit. Additionally, each participant will be required to submit pre- and post-surveys about the program.
