Our Fellowship Program
Education
Our educational curriculum is organized into 13 four-week blocks each year and is thoughtfully aligned with the American Board of Pediatrics content specifications for the Pediatric Emergency Medicine certifying examination. The full 19-block curriculum is completed twice during fellowship, giving fellows the opportunity to revisit key topics with growing clinical confidence and deeper understanding.
Each block is built around a focused theme and delivered in a variety of engaging formats. Fellows learn through core topic lectures, board review, case-based discussions, simulation, and hands-on procedural workshops. Dedicated self-study time, supported by a provided question bank, allows fellows to reinforce learning at their own pace.
We prioritize protected educational time, active faculty involvement, and a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged and growth is expected. The conferences are each Wednesday from 7 AM to 10:00 AM and cover a wide range of medical and surgical topics. We host additional sessions from 10:00 – 12:00 for workshops, resuscitation training as well as the discussion of other professional topics. Over the past 2 years, we have incorporated more flipped-classroom sessions as well.
In addition to core lectures each month, we also incorporate faculty-driven board review, journal club, a literature review and a mock code. We also include procedure-based videos that supplement the content from the related block, in addition to educational support from our academic faculty. Recently, we have introduced longitudinal curricula in administration, disaster management, global health and research design, and quality improvement.
Some conferences fellows participate in that are external to our curriculum include:
- Pediatric Emergency Medicine Quality Assurance Committee
- Pediatric Grand Rounds
- Emergency Medicine Grand Rounds
- Toxicology Grand Rounds
- Trauma Conference
- Radiology Conference
- Division Business Meeting
