Observerships
The Observership Program at Children's Hospital Boston is an orientation for medical graduates who wish to update their clinical and educational skills in a particular specialty. Each observer will be matched with a faculty member who will serve as their mentor during their observer training at Children's Hospital Boston. To set up an observership with a specific department please contact the appropriate person below. Everyone applying will need to provide a CV, a letter of reference from their sponsoring institution and a goals statement. A minimum of six months advances notice is usually required for each department. If the observer is still in medical school, they must apply for a clerkship rotation via the HMS registrar.
