Fellowship Overview

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 regard 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.

Curriculum

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 Peds-trained, three-year Fellowship, one year is dedicated to research by the ABP. We have divided this research year throughout the program to occur within the Pediatric ED rotations. Although EM-trained Fellows are not required to complete research by the ABP, they may choose to do so, and it will also be divided throughout their two-year Fellowship within the Pediatric ED Rotations. Our goal is for each fellow to produce and complete a well-designed study that 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 research mentors
  • Dedicated research staff

Education, Didactics, & Training

Board Review & Educational Requirements

Fellows in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at the University of Oklahoma participate in structured, bi-monthly board review sessions in preparation for subspecialty certification. These sessions combine didactic lectures, board-style question review, and faculty-led discussions, with contributions from both PEM faculty and invited guest subspecialists. This protected educational time is essential in supporting fellow success on the certifying exam.

The board review curriculum is designed to be high-yield, interactive, and adaptable to individual learning needs. In addition, fellows have access to a wide range of institutional resources for board preparation and test-taking strategies through the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine.

Fellows are expected to contribute to the academic mission by delivering the following presentations each year:

  • One Interesting Case Presentation
  • One Morbidity & Mortality Report
  • One Journal Club or Critically Appraised Topic (CAT)
  • Two Didactic Lectures

This structured approach ensures balanced development of clinical expertise, scholarly engagement, and teaching proficiency.

Grand Rounds

Pediatric Grand Rounds are held in the Samis Education Center's Rainbolt Family Auditorium every Wednesday from 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. The auditorium is a short walk from the Emergency Department. Fellows are expected to attend unless working in the ED or on an off-site rotation.

Mentorship

Each fellow is paired with both a Clinical and Research Faculty mentor. Your mentors will follow your progress as you go through your fellowship and will help guide you in your clinical and research pathways.

CSETC Simulation Lab

The high-fidelity pediatric and adult simulators through the Clinical Skills Examination and Testing Center (CSETC). Funded by the OU College of Medicine, the CSETC allows our fellows an exciting and unique opportunity to execute common resuscitative simulations, as well as less encountered or more complicated scenarios, in a controlled environment. Under the direction of our Simulation Program Director, Dr. Amy Sparkman, fellows "practice" the practice of emergency medicine, team management, and procedures, and gain confidence through repetition, real-time faculty feedback, and subsequent video-assisted self-evaluations.
