The overall goal of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Subspecialty Training Program is to train physicians to be proficient in the practice of pediatric emergency medicine. It focuses on the emergent and immediate needs of patients with regards to diagnosis, resuscitation, and trauma stabilization. Graduates will be considered experts in the fields of triage, advanced life support, procedural sedation, and primary trauma management. We prepare our fellows to acquire the teaching and research skills necessary to become independent and productive academic pediatric emergency medicine physicians and leaders in this field of medicine.

Clinical Experience
Our fellows are trained in the care of critically ill and injured children. Fellows are also given exposure to focused adult practice allowing for the evaluation, triage, and basic care of our occasional “grown-up” patients. Fellows also get exposure to a wide variety of procedures including procedural sedation, splinting, laceration repairs, intubations, central line placement, foreign body removal, FAST, etc.

Research Experience
Over the course of the three-year fellowship, one year is dedicated to research but has been divided throughout the program to occur within the Pediatric ED rotation. Our goal is for each fellow to produce and complete a well-designed study which will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. To ensure a successful research project, our fellows are provided with:
- Research methods workshops & lectures
- IRB application & navigation assistance
- Biostatisticians
- Faculty mentors
- Dedicated research staff
