Burn Surgery Fellowship
The Burn Center at MedStar Washington Hospital Center (MWHC) is recruiting a Burn Surgery Clinical Fellow for Academic Year 2026-2027. We have a flexible training program that exposes one BE/BC general surgeon or plastic surgeon to all aspects of burn care at a large urban burn center with catchment radius of 100 miles in our nation’s capital.
MWHC is the largest teaching hospital in the MedStar/Georgetown system and is home to MedStar’s level I trauma center as well as the MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute. The Burn Center at MWHC is an American Burn Association verified burn center that just celebrated its 50th anniversary; a half-century of providing ground-breaking surgical, critical, and rehabilitative care that has benefited the health and well-being of individuals across the Washington Metropolitan region including firefighters, members of law enforcement, and 10 people injured during the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
Prerequisites:
Successful applicants will be BC or BE in General Surgery or Plastic Surgery (may also be BE/BC on SCC). Upon completion of the one-year burn fellowship, the trainee, if meeting the ACGME-accredited Surgical Critical Care fellowship requirements, may elect to complete a second year in the MWHC Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. This will allow the trainee to sit for the American Board of Surgery Examination in Surgical Critical Care.
