Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Curriculum

Curriculum

The pediatric emergency medicine fellowship offers trainees a comprehensive, well-rounded curriculum that includes extensive clinical experience, a solid grounding in emergency medicine research and a thorough array of didactic activities to enhance the learning experience.

Clinical Experience

The pediatric emergency medicine fellowship provides a rich clinical experience. The Division of Emergency Medicine is home to one of the busiest pediatric emergency departments in the country. This gives fellows excellent hands-on experience in dealing with a wide variety of illnesses and injuries. The Emergency Department is staffed by pediatric emergency medicine faculty, fellows and clinical staff. Procedural and resuscitation competency is augmented by periodic educational time in our state-of-the-art Center for Simulation and Research, Cadaver Lab, and participation in a “Boot Camp” with critical care fellows at the beginning of the first year of fellowship. Fellows who seek certification as Sim Facilitators can choose to lead interdisciplinary in-situ simulation sessions in the Emergency Department.
