The pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellowship offers superior training at a Level I, free-standing pediatric hospital with an annual ED census of approximately 85,000 patients. Our fellows care for a variety of high acuity medical illnesses and traumatic injuries. Mentors are provided early in fellowship, and our supportive faculty are involved in quality improvement and research activities. A broad curriculum provides competency in PEM using bimonthly didactic sessions with lectures, interactive learning sessions and monthly simulation training. Fellows work alongside a PEM attending but still have plenty of opportunities to develop autonomy, supervise and educate residents.
