Additional rotations:
- 2 months Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
- 2 months Adult Emergency Medicine
- 1 month Adult Trauma
- 1 month Toxicology
- 1 month Wound Management
- 1 month Anesthesiology
- 1 month Emergency Medical Services
Remaining months are devoted to clinical electives such as sports medicine and child protection, and to the completion of an individual research project.
Academic
The academic program includes 3 hours of weekly clinical conferences presented by a combination of the fellows, internal staff, and speakers who are invited from other divisions to discuss a broad range of medical topics. Journal club, journal watch, simulation work, code review, and professional development talks are incorporated into the clinical conferences. All fellows have an opportunity to attend major national scientific meetings.
Research
The general research curriculum is overseen by the fellowship Research Director, who guides the trainees and their individual mentors through the curriculum via quarterly review meetings and additional courses during each year of training. Additionally, trainees complete full semester courses in the responsible and ethical conduct of human research and become skilled and experienced in biostatistics and epidemiological methods.
