Emergency Medicine Fellowship

The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, in affiliation with Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU), trains physicians in advanced skills in pediatric emergency medicine.

While the program emphasizes clinical skills, you’ll also receive comprehensive training in related areas — including research and teaching, as well as a thorough grounding in the practical and academic topics that surround emergency care for children.

With an emphasis on the care of acutely ill and injured children, the program‘s objective is to yield competent physicians who are capable of teaching pediatric emergency medicine, conducting high-quality research (a requirement for board certification in pediatric emergency medicine) and demonstrating responsible administrative skills.

Physicians in the program also learn about medical and legal issues, health care finances, hospital organizational structures, quality assurance, personnel management, patient services and child advocacy issues.
