Pediatric Emergency Medicine Education in Emergency Medicine Training Programs

Abstract: Emergency medicine residents are exposed to PEM primarily by rotating through a general ED, the PED, and the PICU, being proctored by PEM and EM attendings and attending EM lectures and EM M&M conferences. Areas that may merit further attention for pediatric emergency training include experience in areas of neonatal resuscitation, pediatric M&M, and specific pediatric electives. This survey highlights the need to describe current educational strategies as a first step to assess perceived effectiveness.

“…The data in this article demonstrate that each emergency physician category consistently provides Ͻ 10% of PEM training overall, which is decreased when compared to previously released data demonstrating that emergency physicians played active roles in approximately 35% of training (2). One can only speculate as to the exact source of this decrease.…”

“…This would have allowed one to determine whether physician availability was a factor in determining faculty makeup. Questions directed toward distinguishing physicians grandfathered into certification and those who truly trained through accredited programs also would have been beneficial because so few emergency physicians had actually undergone fellowship training (2,3).…”

“…A recent survey of EM residency directors revealed that EM residents spend 13% of their time on dedicated pediatric EM at tertiary care children's hospitals while the other requirements were met through rotations that treat both children and adults. 8 In a related single-site study, Chen et al found that EM residents were sent to a tertiary pediatric hospital to increase their pediatric experience, only to encounter such a saturated learning environment that they averaged three patients per shift. Additionally, Chen et al found that EM residents were more likely to treat older pediatric patients, perform only minor procedures, and see fewer critically ill patients compared to their non-EM peers.…”

“…1,2 For example, emergency medicine residents spend an average of 17 weeks performing pediatric care during their residency with only 23% of programs offering a specific pediatric orthopaedic rotation. 3 Similarly, pediatric residency training only includes an average of 11 weeks of emergency care. 4 The top 3 areas of weakness in pediatric training are cited as major trauma, minor trauma, and acute orthopaedic care.…”
