Boston Children’s John Shillito Staff Associate/Pediatric Neurosurgery Fellowship was established in honor of John Shillito, MD, a member of the Neurosurgery Department for 37 years. The Shillito Fellowship supports an outstanding young neurosurgeon every year as they pursue intensive, post-graduate clinical training. They are credentialed as a staff associate, and after a period of vetting will have independent admitting and operating privileges with close staff attending back-up. Due to this credentialing process, the fellowship is open only to graduates of North American Neurosurgical training programs, and the candidate must either be a US Citizen, have a green card, or be eligible for an H1B visa.
