Cohen Childrens Medical Center

This is a one-year Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship.

The fellow will be appointed to the clinical staff as a part time attending in the Division of Emergency Medicine. As such, we are currently only able to entertain applications from individuals who are board-certified or board-eligible in pediatric emergency medicine (either through ABP or ABEM).

2015

The fellowship is sponsored by the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at The Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center (CCMC).

In addition to our training program in emergency ultrasound, the division trains: 9 pediatric emergency medicine fellows, rotating residents (pediatrics, emergency medicine, family medicine, psychiatry, podiatry, and others), and medical students from the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. As such, the fellow will have ample time to hone their clinical teaching skills while working clinically.

Our division supports 3 point-of-care faculty members, each of whom is actively involved in training the PoCUS fellow.

In addition, there are multiple faculty at affiliated general EDs within the Northwell system.

Further, we collaborate with numerous local pediatric PoCUS programs to sponsor joint academic events.

At CCMC our patients have a wide range of pathology with high acuity. This offers the fellow a rich environment in which to learn the not only the fundamentals of pediatric emergency ultrasound, but also diagnostic accuracy in critically ill children.

We hope to produce highly trained physicians who will have gained a solid level of understanding in Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound, with goals that this new skill set will translate seamlessly into their clinical environment and make an immediate impact in their care of children.
