Emergency Medicine Fellowship, Pediatric

The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s prepares physicians for rewarding careers in pediatric emergency medicine. Our program offers an invaluable clinical experience in a major pediatric referral center and Level 1 Pediatric & Adult Trauma Center, which enables fellows to progressively develop the knowledge, skills and professional attributes needed to provide outstanding care for acutely ill and injured children and become leaders in our subspecialty.

Through our training program, fellows are exposed to a broad range of clinical, scholarly, teaching, administrative and advocacy experiences. These experiences enable each of our fellows to build solid foundations for successful careers in pediatric emergency medicine. We partner with individuals entering our program to advance their education and experience in a manner that optimally promotes their specific career goals. Our program graduates pursue careers in both academic and community pediatric emergency medicine as master clinicians, medical educators, researchers, administrators, and quality and patient safety advocates. They also serve as advocates and leaders in our field at the local, regional, national and international levels.

Trainees who complete our program are eligible to take the subspecialty board examination in pediatric emergency medicine. Our program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and accepts two fellows per year. We welcome applications from graduates of both pediatric and emergency medicine residency programs.
