The Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Fellowship program at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh aims to educate and support a diverse group of fellows to become outstanding pediatric emergency medicine clinicians and future leaders in the field. Our goal is to train fellows to succeed in balanced, unique and meaningful PEM careers.

Our PEM Fellowship is an ACGME-accredited program and is available to both emergency medicine and pediatrics-trained residents.

The PEM Fellowship program provides a comprehensive educational experience with emphasis on clinical training, teaching, research and scholarship, and administrative and leadership skills. Our scholarship program also includes opportunities for focus track experiences.
