Education and Training

The PEM Fellowship at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is a three-year ACGME-accredited program that serves patients from the greater western Pennsylvania region, including eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, and western Maryland. As the region's only Level 1 Regional Resource Pediatric Trauma Center and primary pediatric referral facility, most children who have serious illness or injuries in the region are transported to Children's Emergency Department, where approximately 85,000 children are treated annually. The fellowship program itself holds 3 spots every year for new fellows to the Division, with 9 fellows in total in the Fellowship program.

Additionally, there is one other one-year fellowship position unique to Children's Hospital. This fellowship is designed around a growing demand for more subspecialty training in urgent care medicine.
