Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research and Fellowship Curriculum

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research

Pediatric emergency medicine is a young subspecialty with exciting research opportunities. Our program encourages curiosity and innovation that advances care for ill or injured children. We emphasize the development of clinical or basic science research for our faculty, fellows, residents, and nurses.

Because our patients are challenged with a wide spectrum of illnesses and injuries, we collaborate with practices across the medical center, including nursing, pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine, infectious diseases, and other subspecialties.
