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 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.

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 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

Education/Training

Fellowship Conferences

In preparation for the specialty board exam in pediatric emergency medicine, we hold bi-monthly board reviews. This review is a combination of didactic lectures, question review, reading time, and close interaction with the junior faculty who have recently taken the board exam. This protected time and interactive learning is essential to aid in our fellow's success. We continue to adapt the format to the needs of our individual learners. We also take advantage of the resources available for preparation and test-taking with the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine.

Fellows will be responsible for presenting at least one interesting case, one morbidity and mortality report, one journal club presentation, and two didactic lectures per year. In addition, they are required to give at least one pediatric resident lecture during their fellowship.

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.
