Fellowships
Programs
Five EM Fellowships are available at the University of Rochester:
Pediatric Emergency Medicine, International Medicine, Prehospital Medicine, Emergency Medicine Research, and Emergency Ultrasound. Also, we have a close affiliation with Sports Medicine and Medical Critical Care Fellowships through Family Medicine and General Medicine/Pumonolgy.
Pediatric Emergency Medicine
The Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Fellowship Program at the University of Rochester is an accredited training program, with tracks for graduates of either Pediatrics (3-year program) or Emergency Medicine (2-year program) residencies. The program is primarily administered by the University’s Department of Emergency Medicine, with close ties to the Department of Pediatrics.
The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship has been in existence at the University of Rochester since 1992. In addition to providing excellent clinical training, and superb research training, the PEM Fellowship offers the opportunity to pursue a Master’s in Public Health. PEM fellows are an integral part of our faculty, and they are provided with the tools and support necessary to be successful pediatric emergency medicine physicians.
The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine consists of six boarded Pediatric Emergency Medicine physicians and four fellows. Division research centers on the health services issues, including the interface between primary care and emergency medicine, care of children in poverty, injury prevention, prehospital care, improving the quality of emergency care, decision analysis, head injuries, asthma, and toxicology.

The Prehospital Medicine fellowship offers unparalleled opportunities in operational EMS, adult education, and prehospital research. This is a two-year program designed to develop physicians who will actively participate in prehospital systems and become leaders at all levels of EMS.
Two program tracks are available in education or research to best suit the interests and aspirations of the fellow. The fellowship program prepares the interested candidate to become a highly effective EMS Medical Director in a variety of system configurations while preparing for an academic career in EMS through advanced degree training and mentoring with nationally recognized prehospital researchers in the Division of Prehospital Medicine at the University of Rochester.
