Special Features
University of Utah has a large catchment area. Because the region is large, cases are unique and rare findings may be more common. Our fellowship is clinical, but there are ample opportunities to collaborate with renowned researchers and physician scientists. In 2026, we added an Clinician Educator track as an optional curriculum for those who are interested in teaching. The University Program is located in Salt Lake City nestled in the Wasatch Mountain Range which provides a beautiful back drop and lots of fun outdoor activities.
