However, if you're committed to this field, there are ways to increase your chances of matching with a fellowship. This might include gaining research experience, seeking out mentors in the field, and pursuing extracurricular activities that demonstrate your passion for pediatric surgery. #pediatrics #childhealthcare #infantcare #medicalinformation #pediatricresearch
