Our fellowship program is differentiated from other Pediatric Emergency Medicine programs based on:

• Our large volume patient population – 60,000 patients, level I trauma, wide variety of subspecialties, covering broad catchment area (including urban, suburban, and rural)
• Our diverse faculty which includes attendings who trained at 15 different fellowship programs and includes members with academic interests in all the niches within Pediatric Emergency Medicine
• Our inclusive clinical environment which values fellows as key members of the team and incorporates them into all aspects of ED operation, oversight, and quality improvement.
• Our supportive learning environment which provides fellows with a tight-knit supportive group of co-fellows as well as faculty and program leadership invested in fellow well-being
• Our close working relationships with the UConn Departments of both Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine which allows us to leverage the strengths of each.
• Our superior curricula in point-of-care ultrasound and simulation.

We take two fellows per year, and have a total of six Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellows at a time. We see over 60,000 patients per year in our emergency department at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, which creates a rich learning environment in which to train. We are a Level I trauma center and our hospital provides the full range of pediatric subspecialty care. Our faculty have come to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center from all over the country and offers mentors across all subspecialties within Pediatric Emergency Medicine. Particular strengths of our curriculum include robust training in point-of-care ultrasound and simulation. We think that Connecticut Children’s Medical Center is a great place to train and are very proud our program, but at the same time are always looking for ways to improve it.
