Innovative Learning Environment
The Mission of the PHM fellowship program is to train the next generation of leaders in Pediatric Hospital Medicine within an innovative, collaborative, personalized and learner-centric environment. Fellows will develop superior skills in delivering family-engaged patient care through a systems-based model, advocating for safety, quality and value-based care, and in advancing scientific research and investigation.
Our simulation center, led by Jennifer Arnold, M.D., M.Sc., FAAP, will expose fellows to state-of-the-art simulation experiences with the most advanced technology available for simulation-based learning.
A personalized academic structure will allow the fellow to advance individual learning objectives and develop expertise in a specialized area of interest with the following highlights:
- Individualized learning objectives
- Weekly “on-the-job” mentorship meetings
- Opportunities to develop expertise in specific areas of individual interest
- Emphasis on active learning and simulation
Research and Investigation
The Johns Hopkins All Children’s PHM fellowship program provides the fellow a range of opportunities to pursue clinical, integrative basic science and translational research, as well as quality improvement and educational scholarship.
The program benefits from research collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Medicine campus in Baltimore, Md., and the Armstrong Institute.
Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Clinical and Translational Research Organization (CTRO) includes the Research and Grant Administration Core, Study Design and Analysis Core, the Pediatric Biorepository, the Research Operations Core, the Database Design and Data Management Core, the Investigational Drug-Services Core, the Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance Core, and the Investigational New Drug/Investigational Device Exemption Core.
