The training and education for the PEM fellow will be individualized to accomplish the clinical, educational and research goals. Our goal is to train the PEM fellow to be able to practice independently during the final year of fellowship.

The PEM fellow will also be required to participate in the Dayton Children’s intermediate quality improvement class (IQIC), a nine-month course based on the Institute for Healthcare improvement methodology. The fellow will lead and guide a quality improvement project with potential for publication.

The hospital is staffed by more than 400 physicians in more than 40 subspecialties and is host to a busy PICU and NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). The highly trained and diverse PEM faculty train, supervise and teach residents from various programs including pediatrics, emergency medicine, family medicine, and anesthesia in addition to medical students from Wright State University.
