The Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship program at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh provides a unique opportunity for fellows to gain extensive experience in a broad range of ultrasound pathologies in the pediatric population.
Weekly image review with PEM Fellows
The curriculum is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of ultrasound and its applications in the emergency setting broadly, with specific focus in the pediatric setting. Fellows will develop and hone their ultrasound skills primarily in the emergency department at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, a level I trauma center and has an annual volume of more than 80,000 visits. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to scan at five nationally recognized emergency departments within the UPMC network, where they will work alongside adult emergency ultrasound (EUS) fellows and faculty. The fellow will have increasing autonomy during scan shifts as the year progresses, with the first half having significant one on one bedside time with POCUS faculty and increasing teaching responsibilities. The second half will provide the fellow ample opportunity to continue to hone their skills through teaching a variety of learners including medical students, residents, PEM fellows and faculty.
