Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Welcome

The UK Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) fellowship was started in 2021 with a priority to provide a quality learning and teaching experience to make the best clinical PEM physician.  Our goal is to offer a broad experience in clinical care, teaching, administration, and research for our PEM fellows in a supportive and collegial environment so our fellows can reach their full potential and achieve their personal and academic goals.  The UK PEM Fellowship faculty have graduated from Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, and Emergency Medicine-Pediatrics residencies before completing PEM fellowships, and these diverse training backgrounds provide a rich and unique culture for education in the fellowship program.  

 

We consider graduates of both Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine residencies and believe that graduates of both residencies have valuable contributions to the PEM fellowship and create a well-rounded PEM fellowship program.  Our PEM fellowship is available as a 3-year program for Pediatrics residency-trained applicants and as a 2-year program for Emergency Medicine residency-trained applicants.

Where We Work

Opened in 2010, the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center serves as the primary Pediatric referral facility for Eastern and Central Kentucky and provides exceptional care with approximately 30,00 annual visits.  It is one of only two Level I Pediatric Trauma Centers in the state of Kentucky and is staffed with a fantastic group of physician faculty, pediatric-specific nurses, child life specialists, 24-hour dedicated ED pharmacists, social workers, and pediatric resources.  The departments of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics work closely together to ensure high quality patient care.  And if you enjoy teaching, there are ample opportunities for educating medical students, residents, APPs, and EMS.  

 

We are very passionate about our PEM fellowship and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have!
