Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Faculty Director: Dr. Garra

 

The pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) mini-fellowship will concentrate on clinical issues specific to the pediatric population with a focus on quality improvement practices. As participants continue along in the mini-fellowship, they will gain progressive responsibility for pediatric issues, with additional assignments in each year of training.  Participants in this mini-fellowship may be interested in a dedicated PEM fellowship following completion of EM residency but any resident with an interest is encouraged to participate.
