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:
