The PA fellowship curriculum mirrors the physician residency program. The fellows are integrated into both clinical and didactic portions of the EM physician resident training. PA Fellows will be incorporated in all lectures, workshops and skill labs required of physician residents.
Our program trains fellows to be efficient in all areas of emergency medicine but our program emphasizes training in ultrasound, trauma/critical care, orthopedics, and pediatrics.
Fellows will work in all areas of the emergency department including acute care, urgent care, critical care, and trauma. All patients are staffed with an attending physician.
