What You Will See as a Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellow

We serve as the primary pediatric referral facility in the region and as a community hospital for children of the Pittsburgh area.

PHM fellows gain experience caring for children and adolescents with a wide range of disease states. Each year, more than 75,000 children are seen in the Emergency Department leading to more than 6,000 admissions to our Pediatric Hospital Medicine service. Fellows will also care for patients directly admitted from other facilities or clinics and patients transferred from our Pediatric Intensive Care and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Fellows also provide consult services for patients on our Medical Surgical Co-Management Team.

Thus, PHM fellows will take on many roles to gain experience caring for children with a wide range of disease states.
