Curriculum

We train our fellows to become outstanding, well-rounded clinicians and teachers. We strive to support the development of research and teaching skills that will allow for success in the changing world of academic medicine and encourage the understanding of administrative issues to allow for future involvement in positions of leadership in academic emergency medicine. The fellowship provides the opportunity to attain all of these goals. We have a longitudinal shift schedule that is a key part of our clinical curriculum. This gives balance to our schedule, ensures gradual progress, while keeping fellow wellness intact during all of their training. Fellows gain gradual autonomy and experience in all clinical aspects of PEM, having time introduced early for administrative as well as QI involvement. Their roles in the department span across research and inter-disciplinary project development, mentorship that is interwoven with mentor and mentee experiences. Our PEM fellowship is housed in our large EM department at the Royal Oak campus. This exposes our fellows to many different cases, teaching styles, resources, and patients. It is a great place to learn and train!

The curriculum is a dual track for emergency medicine and pediatric trained residents. Recruitment will target clinically based pediatricians and emergency medicine physicians with a strong desire in teaching and developing superior clinical skills.
