Research Opportunities
The pediatric emergency medicine fellowship offers physicians an opportunity to greatly enhance their independent research skills. Our flexible research curriculum includes 12 months devoted to research. In addition, during Emergency Department months, fellows spend approximately 35 percent of their time in research and other academic pursuits. Fellows are formally matched with a primary research mentor during the first six months of fellowship and follow a structured research curriculum with outlined milestones to assist them in academic success and creation and completion of their fellowship scholarly product.
In addition to the completion of a scholarly product, fellows will have the opportunity to complete a certificate or master’s program in medical education, clinical and translational research, public health, health administration, or business administration fully funded by the fellowship. Opportunities for institutional and divisional grant funding exist to support fellowship scholarly work, allowing access to trained clinical research coordinators for prospective studies. There will also be opportunities to present original work at national conferences.
Fellows’ progress is monitored by a Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC), which consists of three faculty members, including one extra-divisional member. The SOC meets twice a year to monitor fellows’ research / scholarly output progress.
