Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship
The mission of the Pediatric Emergency Fellowship Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center is to train clinicians who provide compassionate, state-of-the-art emergency care for children. Our program develops academic physicians who are skilled in research methodology and educational scholarship, serve as teachers and role models for other health care professionals and the community, and become leaders in the subspecialty of Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
Our Emergency Department provides care to more than 55,000 children annually at a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center within a tertiary care children’s hospital serving a diverse New York City community. We are committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based pediatric emergency care to our medically complex patient population. As a participating site in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), our trainees are exposed to cutting-edge research and a continuous commitment to improving the health of pediatric patients.
We provide fellows with a comprehensive point-of-care ultrasound curriculum, and our division also sponsors a competitive ultrasound fellowship. Fellows receive dedicated training in educational strategies, including simulation and debriefing, to further develop their teaching skills. Our philosophy is to provide trainees with a strong foundation in all aspects of pediatric emergency medicine while encouraging them to develop their own clinical and academic expertise in the field.
Thank you for your interest in our program.
