A Novel Approach to Combining Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Global Health Fellowships

Abstract

Our response to a global trend toward improvement in PEM care was the development of the first combined PEM-GH fellowship program. Recognizing the value of this program within our own institution, we now offer it as a model for building such programs in the future. This fellowship program promises to be a paradigm that can be used nationally and internationally, and it establishes a foundation for a full-fledged accredited and certified subspecialty.
