The Oregon Health and Science University and Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital are pleased to announce the recent accreditation of our Fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine. We are currently recruiting our first PEM fellow who will begin in July 09. This partnership in post-graduate education unites both children’s hospitals in Portland in a mission to educate our next generation of pediatric emergency physicians. The Department of Emergency Medicine at OHSU supports additional fellowships in EMS, Toxicology, Research, and Education, and PEM faculty have a strong research interest in those areas. OHSU will serve as the academic and research base of the fellowship while clinical training will occur primarily at Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital, a large, busy, urban community hospital with a full spectrum of tertiary pediatric services and subspecialists, including pediatric ECMO and busy Cardiology and Hem-Onc services. The two centers are the only Level I Pediatric Trauma centers in Oregon and SW Washington. Emergency medicine residency training in Pediatric EM already occurs jointly at both institutions. Faculty for the fellowship will also hold joint medical staff appointments to both hospitals.
