Fellowship Curriculum
The PEM curriculum consists of a wide variety of rotations to ensure a complete range of training that is required of a Pediatric Emergency Medicine physician. The year is divided into 12 blocks, each consisting of 4 weeks. Graduates of pediatric residencies will require a three-year-curriculum, and graduates of emergency medicine residencies will require a two-year-curriculum. Fellows have the option of combining their research and PEM months (shown below) to allow them to spread out their research time as needed for their projects.
