Overview of Training Levels in PEM Fellowship Training Program

Overview of Training Levels in PEM Fellowship Training Program

• Fellows will complete a minimum of 12 months of Pediatric Emergency Medicine. A minimum of 6 months per year will ensure graded exposure and responsibility. The suggested program design (below) ensures that the rotations are spread evenly throughout the year to account for seasonal variation of illness and injury. During these rotations fellows will work approximately equivalent to full-time hours in a variety of shifts, similar to current clinical practice in our institution.

• This program is joint training program with other three hospitals in Riyadh which recognized and accredited by Saudi Commission for Heath Specialties training committees.

• PEM rotations will be rotating between the four centers but other off services rotations will be held in the KAMC to complete the requirements of the program.

• They will be expected to have increasing responsibilities in patient management, teaching, and administration over the course of the fellowship. While on duty, fellows will be given first priority for all technical procedures (to do or teach/supervise) and will be given the opportunity to lead all resuscitations. They will maintain a logbook of procedures and resuscitations to identify prospectively and correct any areas of limited experience
