Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship

The Yale New Haven Children's Hospital Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship was established in 2000. It has since grown tremendously in size and depth. We currently train a total of 7 fellows.

The overall objective of our training program is to provide trainees with excellent clinical training, resources to pursue independent research, and unique opportunities for educational pursuits. Our philosophy is that by providing a strong foundation during the early parts of the fellowship and a stimulating environment, the trainee will acquire the skills necessary for independence in clinical decision-making, research design, and educational and administrative endeavors.

Educational Settings

Other features, funding & support, application.

Clinical training occurs during the duration of fellowship. Assignments in the PED during the first 3-6 months of fellowship focus on developing the knowledge and skills necessary to practice independently and to supervise. These fellow shifts are supervised by the attending PED physician. Fellows then are given progressive autonomy on their clinical shifts, allowing for independent decision-making in a safe environment. During the second and third years, the fellow refines the skills of running the emergency department and promoting flow with further autonomy.

Throughout the fellowship, there is an emphasis on concise, accurate documentation of patient encounters and procedures performed. Additionally, fellows will keep a log of procedures performed, from the prosaic to the extraordinary.

Fellows take the annual specialty in-training exam (SITE), and are reimbursed for the exam after its completion.

Fellows should complete a brief chart note on all patients seen, and document procedures completed. Additionally, a procedure log is kept across the 3 years.

Vacation: 4 weeks/year, to be taken during PED months.

Clinical Education

Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH) is the a full-spectrum pediatrics facility for the state of Connecticut. YNHCH provides primary care to children in the New Haven area, Level One trauma care, and tertiary care to patients from a wide referral base including Southern Connecticut and Eastern New York. There is a full range of pediatric subspecialists available 24 hours per day. There is a very busy 19-bed PICU and Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program, as well as an active pediatric transport team. The hospital is directly linked to the Yale University School of Medicine by a skywalk. The hospital's location within the larger 900-bed Yale-New Haven Hospital allows for the provision of a full complement of state-of-the art services while prioritizing the unique needs of children.

Twenty-four Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) faculty members, 7 PEM fellows, 4 advanced practice practitioners and 1 general pediatrician from the Section of Pediatric Emergency Medicine staff the Pediatric Emergency Department of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. We have 24-7 attending coverage and 24-7 attending back up. Our annual census is approximately 40,000 and we see patients up to the age of 25. The Pediatric Emergency Department has 20 single patient rooms and a 2-bed resuscitation bay. Additional patient care spaces are available during times of high census and for patients with specific complaints. We are involved in teaching medical, nursing and physician associate students, pre-hospital providers, and residents in pediatrics, emergency medicine and family medicine. The Pediatric Emergency Department of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital is adjacent to the Adult Emergency Department of Yale-New Haven Hospital, with side-by-side trauma resuscitation suites. Although each department functions independently, the close proximity provides a unique setting for sharing of knowledge and teaching opportunities.

Our fellows also spend time learning about community-based Pediatric Emergency Medicine at a nearby non-tertiary care hospital. This level II trauma center serves 17,000 children each year. PEM fellows will develop an understanding of the management of patients in a non-tertiary care setting where consultants may not be readily available to assist in care. Similarly, the Poison Control Center in the UConn Health System serves as the home base for our Toxicology rotation. An extensive network of board-certified toxicologists is available for consultation, including Yale’s Pediatric Toxicologist, Dr. Carl Baum.

About the Fellowship

The ACGME-accredited Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) fellowship training program at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center Phyllis and David Komansky Children's Hospital produces experts and leaders in the field. Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) offers a uniquely diverse clinical environment, with mentorship from esteemed experts in the fields of pediatrics, emergency medicine and all surgical subspecialties. Our PEM subspecialty residents (fellows) receive comprehensive training experience, acquiring all requisite skills to become an astute clinician and scholar. Our fellowship curriculum emphasizes both academic and clinical achievement, and fosters an independent, evidence-based approach to patient care. Our fellows graduate with the strong educational foundation necessary to achieve a rich and rewarding career in pediatric emergency medicine. In July 2017, we introduced an exciting new program combining pediatric emergency medicine and global health. Pediatric emergency medicine is a common path toward a career in international pediatric healthcare, and we recognize the complementary nature of these fields. This unique track provides both didactic and experiential pediatric global training. Nationally renowned WCM Global Health faculty partner with our PEM program to offer outstanding educational and scholarly research opportunities. The PEM Global Health curriculum is incorporated into the ACGME requirements of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Subspecialty Training Program.

Our program offers a unique opportunity for PEM subspecialty residents to train in a variety of pediatric emergency settings. The majority of our clinical training takes place at the Komansky Children's Hospital, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. This urban, tertiary, level-one trauma center and regional burn center provides care for diverse general and subspecialty patients, many with highly complex medical and surgical issues. We accept referrals from private physician offices and neighboring schools, as well as transfers from many hospitals throughout the greater New York metropolitan area.

PEM subspecialty residents also perform clinical rotations in the pediatric emergency service at  NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital  (Columbia Campus), located in Washington Heights, New York, serving a high-volume, inner-city community. This tertiary, level-one pediatric trauma center serves a diverse clinical patient population and offers education from a nationally acclaimed pediatric emergency medicine faculty.

PEM residents are afforded the opportunity to develop medical investigation, rapid assessment and triage, evidence-based analysis, simulation-based education and technical procedure skills. Subspecialty residents learn to prioritize care and manage patient flow, and, with an advancing independent role during the training program, acquire the skills essential to supervise and oversee all aspects of a busy, urban emergency department. Pain management, child health advocacy and patient satisfaction are greatly emphasized.

A robust emergency simulation educational program incorporates simulation-based scenarios for infrequently seen medical entities, resuscitation procedures, communication, team training and leadership into the clinical curriculum.

WCM places a strong emphasis on the development of clinical educators. PEM subspecialty residents are provided formal training and close mentorship to develop teaching skills in a variety of modalities. Opportunities to teach, both domestic and abroad, include one-on-one bedside sessions with medical students and pediatric residents, as well as delivery of presentations to pediatric and emergency medicine residents and faculty in a range of academic venues, including grand rounds. Lecture development, public speaking skills and incorporation of an interactive teaching style are emphasized.

Emergency simulation is also incorporated throughout the curriculum. A focused emergency simulation rotation affords fellows the foundation and tools to develop simulation scenarios with high-fidelity mannequins, independently run scenarios, and skillfully debrief student participants. First-year PEM fellows attend our annual  Base Camp , a high-intensity, fully immersive weekend of pediatric emergency simulations where fellows and nurses work together in multidisciplinary teams to manage critically ill and injured simulated patients. During the second and third year of training, fellows participate in Base Camp as a junior faculty mentor and/or instructor.

Researchers

Our program emphasizes the importance of academic investigation and scientific advancement in the field of pediatric emergency medicine. In collaboration with the Weill Cornell  Department of Emergency Medicine , we offer all essential resources our trainees require to attain expertise in the design, methodology, statistical analysis and composition of original clinical research and/or scholarly activities.

Formal coursework in research design and biostatistics provides an introductory foundation in the first months of training. PEM faculty mentors meet with fellows for monthly research review, and PEM subspecialty residents present ongoing research progress to the Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC) biannually.

PEM subspecialty residents have the opportunity to attend the National Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Conference twice during the training program to present individual research projects to and receive feedback from peers and nationally acclaimed scholars in the field of pediatric emergency medicine. PEM subspecialty residents are expected to present research at a national meeting, as well as prepare a completed manuscript or work product at the completion of the training program. PEM curriculum includes 12 months of dedicated research time, distributed throughout the three years of training, to support the development and successful completion of meaningful clinical research.

Administrators

PEM subspecialty residents are exposed to a variety of administrative roles and leadership opportunities, which may vary based on the experience and unique interests of an individual resident. PEM residents may develop pediatric emergency service programmatic and operational enhancements, serve on a departmental or institutional committee, participate in safety and quality improvement, develop programs for pediatric advocacy and/or join in community outreach activities. Formal education is offered in the areas of physician wellness, ethics, healthcare economics, safety and quality improvement.

The Environment

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at the NewYork-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Children's Hospital is part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, a world-renowned university hospital affiliated with  Weill Cornell Medicine ,  The Hospital for Special Surgery  and  Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center . The hospital is a tertiary care medical center and is designated by the New York City Regional Trauma Advisory Committee and the New York State Department of Health as a level-one trauma center for children and adults.

The WCM Departments of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine have distinguished and nationally recognized faculty in all applicable subspecialties, offering the highest caliber of teaching and clinical consultation. Areas of expertise include toxicology, emergency ultrasound, simulation, patient safety and pediatric critical care. Our pediatric general and critical care units collaborate with the Emergency Medicine Department to care for children with highly complex medical and surgical entities. In addition, the WCM Pediatric Emergency Service serves as a robust educational venue for residents in both the Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine Departments, as well as WCM medical students.

Our program offers a single PEM resident position over a three-year training period. Subspecialty residents work closely with PEM faculty, ensuring maximal exposure to all possible clinical experiences in the Pediatric Emergency Department. Given our limited size, we are able to tailor curriculum to the unique interests and individual learning objectives of each subspecialty resident.

Global Health Pediatric Emergency Medicine

In July 2017, the PEM Fellowship Program introduced a Global Health Medicine Track – the first of its kind in the New York Metropolitan area - to promote pediatric emergency medicine and acute care programs for children internationally, through leadership, teaching, advocacy, research and clinical skills. This new track enables PEM fellows to meet all required ACGME standards, while at the same time receiving intensive, focused education and experience in the field of international health for children. This curriculum addresses the unique needs of children in resource-limited communities, both in the U.S. and abroad.

The PEM Global Health track offers a clinical rotation at  Weill Bugando  in Mwanza, Tanzania. Trainees may choose to travel to another community with which they may already have an established relationship, if deemed appropriate by program faculty.

PEM Global Health fellows also have the opportunity to complete a scholarly project with the goal of enhancing international child health. Scholarly projects may be conducted in resource-limited communities, under the auspices of the appropriate institutional review board, with mentorship both at home and abroad.

Our program has been developed to meet the individualized interests and needs of each PEM resident while adhering to ACGME program guidelines. The three-year program is structured to foster academic and personal growth, with increased independence and responsibility afforded to the resident each training year.

Clinical rotations at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine include:

• pediatric critical care
• adult emergency medicine
• emergency simulation
• emergency ultrasound
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
• telemedicine
• toxicology - performed at the New York City Poison Control Center, an internationally recognized regional poison center receiving more than 90,000 consultations each year
• trauma - performed at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore - consisting of an intense month of training, during which highly skilled trauma surgeons supervise the PEM subspecialty resident's acute assessment and management of severely injured adults and adolescents
• electives - including burn surgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, oral surgery, plastic surgery, emergency radiology, obstetrics, child protection, wilderness medicine, adolescent medicine and gynecology.

Competency-based goals and objectives are outlined for each rotation and reviewed with subspecialty residents before and after the completion of each rotation. Rotation evaluations from residents provide critical feedback and serve as a basis for programmatic modifications, enabling continuous and ongoing curriculum improvement.

PALS, BLS, ACLS and ATLS certifications are required throughout the training period.

Tips for Writing Your Personal Statement‍

Writing an amazing residency personal statement on your ERAS application is about telling your story in your own voice. It’s about telling the reader something about you that cannot be gathered from other parts of the application.

The personal statement is a longer discussion of yourself, motivation, and experiences. It is also an important element of your application as 67% of residency programs cite personal statements as a factor in selecting students to interview. We’ve put together some tips to help you below.

“Do’s” of writing personal statements :

?   DO tell a story about yourself or share a unique situation. You are showing the reader your narrative about why you are a great candidate for residency.

?   DO make it human. Approach the statement as an opportunity to process life experiences and articulate the arc of your journey.

?   DO be specific. Clearly outline your interest in the specialty, and use concrete examples where able.

?   DO be candid and honest.

?   DO pay attention to grammar and writing style.

?   DO keep the statement to one page.

?   DO get an early start. We recommend to begin writing your personal statement during the summer between your third and fourth years of medical school to allow ample time for revisions and reviews. Be prepared to do many drafts.

?   DO include personal challenges you have overcome in your medical education journey so far.

?   DO get feedback. Have multiple people read your statement including faculty in your field.

What to avoid :

✖   DON’T tell the reader what an emergency physician does; he or she already knows this.

✖   DON’T belittle another person or specialty.

✖   DON’T overestimate your personal statement. The benefit gained from even an outstanding personal statement is still marginal compared with other aspects of your application which carry more weight.

✖   DON’T underestimate your personal statement. A poorly written or error-filled personal statement can drag down your candidacy.

✖   DON’T just focus on activities that the admissions committee can learn about from your application. Use this opportunity to give NEW information that is not available anywhere else.

Questions to Consider When Writing

Crafting a strong personal statement begins with self-reflection. Before you even begin writing, lay the groundwork for your statement by asking yourself the following questions:

Why are you choosing emergency medicine? If you want to help people, why don’t you want to be a social worker or a teacher (for example)? What interests, concerns, or values drive you in your studies, work, and career choice?

Think back to volunteer, shadowing, global health, research, work, and coursework experiences. What has been defining? Are there any moments that stick out? What did you learn about yourself or your future profession? How did you change after that experience?

What do you want the residency program to know about you as a person, a student, and a future colleague? What makes you a good fit for the profession and the profession a good fit for you?

What makes you unique from other applicants?

Additional Resources

Most universities and colleges also have writing centers that may be able to help you focus your ideas into a theme or read and give feedback on your personal statement.

*This resource is intended to serve as inspiration and a compass to guide your own writing. All personal statements or parts thereof may not be reproduced in any form without written permission of the author.

Impressing: Personal Statement

Personal statement, personal statements usually fall into 3 categories:.

• The top 5% are works of writing wonder which is appreciated by all who read them but add only a little to your interview chances.
• The middle 85% are not necessarily memorable but they are well written and get a sense of you across; these may not add a whole lot to your interview chances but they don’t detract and they will hopefully create a memorable image that will be yours for the season.
• The bottom 10% are poorly written with grammatical mistakes, spelling errors, a lack of organization, or some combination of the three; these will truly hurt your chances for an interview – some committees have a zero-tolerance policy for spelling or grammar errors.

Those who write papers in the bottom 10% are often the ones who are shooting for the top 5%; we, therefore, recommend that your goal should be the middle 85%. The goal of your statement should be to explain why you want to go into emergency medicine and why you think emergency medicine is the right specialty for you.

Overarching theme

Look over your CV and think about the experiences before and during medical school that might inform what kind of emergency physician you will become. Often there is a common thread that holds together even the most disparate of experiences – this common thread is usually one of your core values as a person. This may be a good theme to weave throughout and hold together your personal statement.

Experiences to highlight

Use your experiences to give programs an idea of who you are. Be specific – talking about the aspects of care that you like in emergency medicine is good but it’s even better when programs can see how your personal experiences reinforce aspects of emergency medicine that resonate with you as a person. It’s OK to include patient vignettes and talk about your accomplishments, but be sure to relate them back to yourself. How did the experience impact you? What did you learn about yourself? How will the experience make you a better family physician? What about the experience demonstrates your commitment to the discipline of emergency medicine, your ability to work with others, and your ability to work with patients? Often choosing one experience and telling the story is a good way to open your statement, develop your theme, and make it memorable.

Commitment to specialty

Talk about why you are choosing emergency medicine. What experiences convince you that this is the right field for you?

Strengths that you bring

What do you bring to a program? What are you naturally good at? What specific skills do you have that will serve you well in residency? Give examples.

Future plans/what you are looking for in a residency program

At the end of this long road of school and training, what kind of work do you see yourself doing? This is not necessary but if you do have a sense then you should bring it up – it will help paint a better picture of you and give you something to discuss during the interviews.

Organizing your statement

There are many ways to organize your statement to get these points across. One common way of organizing the personal statement is a three to five-paragraph form reminiscent of those essays you had to write in high school. To use this approach the first paragraph tells a story to open the theme, the middle paragraph(s) fleshes out other experiences that highlight the theme and discuss your commitment to emergency medicine and what you have to bring to it, and the third paragraph reviews your strengths and future plans/training desires. However, this is a personal statement and you are free to write and organize it as you desire.

• Write in complete sentences.
• Have transitions between paragraphs
• Use the active voice.
• Make your writing interesting – use a thesaurus and vary sentence length.
• Have at least two other people (one who knows you well and one who knows the process of applying to EM residency well) read your personal statement and give feedback.
• Give yourself plenty of time to work on your statement and revise it based on feedback.
• Rehash your CV or write an autobiography.
• Discuss research or experiences that you can’t expand significantly on in an interview.
• Be overly creative ‐‐ no poems or dioramas.
• Use abbreviations – spell things out.
• Say “emergency room” or “emergency room doctor” – use the emergency department and emergency physician
• Start every sentence with “I”.
• Make it longer than one page, in single‐spaced, 12-point font.
• Have ANY spelling or grammatical errors.
• Write a statement that could be used for several different specialties (i.e. one that talks about wanting a primary care career but not specifically emergency medicine). If you are still deciding on a specialty and applying to different fields, write two different statements.
• End your essay speaking to the reader (e.g., thanking them for their time).
• Be arrogant or overly self‐deprecating.
• Focus on lifestyle issues or what you will do with all your free time as an EP.
• Focus on your being an adrenalin junkie.
• Use hackneyed stories of growth, travel, or adventure unless it really is personal and you can express that.

Article Contents 12 min read

You’re an accomplished MD student with a passion for helping children, so it’s only natural for you to want to pursue a pediatrics residency! In order to be considered for admission, your pediatrics personal statement must not only detail your passion and qualifications as they relate to the field, but give the admission’s committee a good grasp of who you are as a person, why you want to work with children specifically, and why they should consider you to be a resident doctor in the field!

Pediatrics is one of the least competitive residencies currently. While it is still in-demand and a popular choice, pediatrics is a broad field. In pediatrics, you may not only be a primary care physician for a very specific group of people (infants and children under 18), but you may also provide care for pediatric patients suffering from terminal illnesses, acute and chronic conditions, injuries, musculoskeletal issues, neurological issues, and more. There are, of course, areas of specialization for each of these, but many pediatric doctors have the ability and passion to understand and study a broad range of pediatric health problems. Both graduates of MD and DO programs pursue pediatrics. Whether you’re Canadian and applying through CaRMS , or American/International and using ERAS , your pediatrics personal statement is a very important component of your application! 

Read on to view examples of pediatrics personal statements and learn more about how to write a strong and detailed personal statement that concisely highlights your relevant accomplishments personal experience, academic career, professional goals, and professional experience that, when all considered in combination, make you stand out as a candidate for residency.

Before you write and your personal statement for any field of residency, you should first allow yourself ample time to craft a few drafts to ensure you can accurately detail all relevant information in, approximately, 750 words!

This information should include:

Optional: a brief explanation of any gaps or unfavorable grades. "}]">

In just a few paragraphs, your personal statement should thoroughly describe why you’d be a great fit for residency in pediatrics, and provide examples of experiences and accomplishments that back up your statement.

 When crafting your personal statement, it’s advised that you revise it several times, and even read it aloud, to be sure that you don’t get sidetracked or include any irrelevant details, as this can be easy to do when you’ve only got a few paragraphs to tell a very specific story! It’s also imperative that you refrain from reiterating a list of accomplishments that are noted on your residency CV , ERAS experiences section , or additional portions of your application and transcript, as this is not what a personal statement is meant to do. If you choose to utilize a few sentences your personal statement as an opportunity to address poor grades or gaps in your medical school CV , ensure that you do so in a mature and optimistic manner, and provide information about the outcome. Most importantly, keep it brief, and stick to the facts! Overall, your personal statement should only include details that convince the admissions team that you’re a perfect candidate for pediatrics residency.

“You’re more insightful than most adults!” is what my sixth-grade teacher told me after she overhead me consoling my classmate after she experienced a traumatic event and received little support from her surrounding community. I was always interested in the social and emotional needs of my peers, and many adults in my life dubbed me, "the little therapist" and assumed I'd pursue mental healthcare as a career. But, little did they know that as I grew to be a teen, I became more invested in learning how their problems were addressed and met, and where they stemmed from. While I was in high school, I was president of my local chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) that focused on bettering access to peer-to-peer de-escalation training, and a common theme I noticed among my peers was many had experienced medical trauma, neglect, and inadequate access to health care. I also volunteered with a local crisis hotline through my church, where I would listen to people who were struggling with depression or substance abuse. Many of whom had medical and emotional concerns brushed off as children, and many of whom had never seen a pediatric physician.

When I went to college, I decided to pursue a psychology with the initial intent of becoming a psychotherapist. However, my experiences learning psychology, along with understanding that many traumas stemmed from early experiences, helped me realize that I wanted to help young people take a proactive approach to coping with health issues, traumas and mental illness. And, I firmly believe that a positive interaction with a medical professional at a young age can truly make an impact and lasting impression on a child. As I continued in my undergraduate degree, I completed courses in biology, physics and chemistry in good-standing, and began to develop a passion for medicine.

My experience in my MD program was unforgettable. Going into it, I knew I was focused on helping children develop into healthy adults by providing them with the resources they need while they are still young enough for us to help guide them toward positive change. In my clerkships, I learned how to be a leader and how to work with others in a team setting, and collaborate respectfully with others, even in intense and challenging environments such as the pediatric oncology unit and the emergency department. I learned how to communicate effectively, both verbally and nonverbally, with patients of all ages and backgrounds. In my clerkships, I spent time not only in pediatrics, but in geriatrics as well, which offered me a completely 'opposite' perspective and experience working with an entirely unique group. Geriatrics taught me a lot of about the human condition, aging, and how, even at 90 years old, the inner child still exists, and the experiences of children are not frequently forgotten-- quite the opposite actually-- many elderly patients cling to their childhood memories, and require the same compassion and empathy from their healthcare providers as children do. This experience taught me to be patient, considerate, and genuine with my patients of all ages. I also spent time in emergency medicine and got to interact with children of all ages in the emergency department, as well as adults. However, throughout each experience, being with children was always what I found to be most rewarding.

When my family fell on hard times and moved to North Carolina, my siblings and I grappled with the fear and anxiety of joining a new community. But, we soon realized our new neighborhood was a place where everyone knew everyone, and children ran around outside without supervision. Older kids, like myself, often cared for younger ones. At the time I didn't quite grasp why, and it wasn't until I was older that I realized many parents were young, working several jobs, and falling through the cracks of society in terms of mental and physical health. The idea of having to supervise children all day long seemed so strange to me at first, but, I grew to realize the importance of my help, and the help of other leaders in our community. I began to see the benefits of having such a small community: it was easy to get involved in activities, and there were always people around who wanted to help out with projects and events. The community also provided a support system for families who needed it most, and as a self-declared leader in such a system, I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a helper in life. In my town, there were several families who struggled financially, with their health, and/or emotionally, and they were always grateful for any kind of assistance they could get from their neighbors. They were good people, but being from a medical underserved, disadvantaged community had left them, and their children, without the resources they required to better their health, and improve their futures.

My grandmother was not only my superhero, but, a superhero to many sick children. She had a profound impact on my life in many ways, and I like to think she did for others, too! My grandmother was an RN and worked in the pediatric intensive care unit at the hospital where she lived. When she wasn't working, she would spend much of her time volunteering at the hospital's children's cancer ward. She would take me with her when she went to visit the children there and would often bring me along to deliver meals or other small gifts to them. Her time spent with these children—helping them get better and supporting their families—was always an inspiration to me, even though at the time, I was very involved in the arts and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life...I myself was still a child. But, I always knew that I’d follow in my grandmother’s footsteps, and, here I am today doing just that in the final year of my MD program, pursuing pediatric residency!

I think this early exposure is what made me gravitate toward pediatrics as a specialty choice; having seen first-hand how important it is to help young people live healthier lives, I knew that this was where I belonged. During my undergraduate degree, I studied both English and Psychology, but took the required prerequisites for medical school and much to my surprise, excelled in science and math. I also shadowed and volunteered at a local hospital in order to gain experience in the medical field. During this time, one of my favorite experiences was shadowing a pediatrician who specialized in caring for children with learning and developmental disabilities. I was amazed by her ability to connect with each child and provide them with the support they needed—even though she didn't always know how to help them herself.

Your pediatrics personal statement is an integral part of your residency application because it is your opportunity to share what makes you a qualified applicant worth consideration! In other words, your personal statement is your chance to highlight what makes you different and special, and what experiences you’ve had that will make you a great candidate for pediatric residency. Your personal statement is mandatory, and if poorly written, you run the risk of having your residency application tossed aside.

Along with having a great personal statement, having a strong CaRMS reference letter, or ERAS letter of recommendation, can increase your likeliness of standing out and can serve as a way to thoroughly detail your experience and skillset that makes you an exceptional candidate. 

However, it’s advised that you secure references and recommendations early to avoid rushing any parts of the process. You should also give yourself ample time to prepare a great personal statement in order to allow the opportunity for necessary revisions and rewrites; quality letters and statements seldom happen overnight!

While pediatrics is decently popular, it isn’t an overly competitive field at this time. MD and DO applicants often apply to pediatric residency!

Your personal statement should include the following:

• A firm statement highlighting why you’re a good fit for residency in pediatrics
• Any brief description of personal ties you have to the field 
• Your professional goals and values as they relate to pediatrics
• Any relevant details about your academic and/or professional achievements as they relate to the field
• Highlight an experience or two (in your MD program, volunteering, clerkship, etc.) that inspired you to pursue pediatrics

It can vary but, in most cases, your personal statement should be 750- 800 words in length!

Follow the structure of an academic essay. As with any academic applications or professional documents, always refrain from using any bold or creative layouts or fonts. Keep it neat, legible, simple, and professional!

If you are only applying to pediatrics, then you will require one personal statement. 

However, most students apply to several programs within their speciality, and many may opt to apply to several specialities as well! Because of this, it’s advised that you prepare a personal statement for each specialty you are applying for.

Aside from following general advice about length, formatting, and details to include and not to include (such as irrelevant details or negative narratives), you should write from the heart! Ensure you are writing a genuine personal statement that is authentically ‘you’ and conveys the appropriate amount of passion in just a few short paragraphs. Share why you are excited to work in pediatrics and give examples of various experiences (or accomplishments) that motivated you to pursue this specific field. If you have personal and/or professional experience in pediatrics, or, a related field, briefly share the details and state why they are important to you.

If you’ve had other experiences, such as shadowing, or clinical rotations, in a field other than pediatrics, you can certainly mention it in your personal statement so long as it’s relevant and ties into your narrative. For example, you may have learned great teamwork and collaboration skills, or developed a passion for working with children, while shadowing a neurologist! If your experience in other fields does not directly relate to your desire to pursue pediatrics, do not include it. Remember, your personal statement is a narrative that describes your suitability for a field, not a list of experiences!

There are many unique paths that can lead an individual to the field of laboratory medicine. For some, the profession may be a natural sequence from their current work or research, and for others, the trail might be much more challenging at first to locate. Common paths to the field usually fall into 2 categories: medical doctors (MD, DO, MBBS) and doctorate-degree holders (PhD, DCLS, etc.). For medical doctors, a pathology residency is completed; then subspecialization can be pursued. Doctoral trainees, on the other hand, may be required to use an online tool such as myIDP to explore scientific career options based on aptitude and values ( 1) or may uncover the field by word-of-mouth. Regardless of route, once a prospective trainee commits to a vocation in lab medicine, there is ultimately no reversing course. Fortunately, to help navigate prospective trainees through the process, there are countless individuals in academic, private, and industry job settings who are ready to inspire the next generation by paying it forward. In this laboratory reflection, the goal is to provide some practical advice for one of the most critical aspects of the process—the laboratory medicine fellowship application stage, specifically the personal statement (or letter of intent). And while this piece focuses on clinical chemistry fellowships (as this is what both authors completed), the personal statement “do’s and do not’s” apply more broadly to any clinical laboratory medicine fellowship. Of note, aside from clinical chemistry, there are clinical fellowship opportunities in microbiology, biochemical genetics, laboratory genetics and genomics, as well as clinical immunology/human leukocyte antigen specialties.

2023 Pathways to Pediatric Emergency Medicine: Combined EM-Pediatrics Residency Program Director Panel

Medical students pursuing a career in pediatric emergency medicine will find there are several possible routes to achieve this goal. In this webinar, the program directors from the Combined Emergency Medicine & Pediatrics residency programs present a roadmap outlining the different available pathways. We are grateful to our panelists, Dr. Anna McFarlin from Louisiana State University, Dr. Jennifer Guyther from University of Maryland, Dr. Geoff Hays from Indiana University, and Dr. Aaron Leetch from University of Arizona.

Recognizing Sick Kids: Case-Based Video Discussion with Dr. Aaron Leetch

The critically ill child is a relatively rare presentation in the ED. This can lead to a lack of recognition, familiarity, and comfort caring for these patients. Recognizing sick children is key to successful resuscitation and management. To help bridge this knowledge and experience gap, Dr. Aaron Leetch leads a case-based video discussion on the recognition of sick kids. By the end of this talk,  learners should be able to use the Pediatric Assessment to identify sick kids and start on the correct path in their resuscitation.

Pediatric ECG Card

These ECG pictorials of causes of sudden cardiac death in children can help you identify dangerous patterns early enough to save a life. Because ECGs are obtained less frequently in children than they are in adults, this essential card is geared toward the interpretation of congenital cardiac anomalies and causes for sudden cardiac death, rather toward adult ischemia. Pediatric ECG interpretations based on age will be in the palm of your hand, along with ED-relevant Davignon intervals for age, anatomic clues for differentiating congenital heart physiology, and normal pediatric variants.

Dec 10, 2022 Residency in Ophthalmology Personal Statement, Russian Updated: May 8 I was raised in a small town in Russia, but my education took me away to the big city from the age of fifteen forward to work and study. I studied hard and eventually became a practicing ophthalmologist. For years, I was a teenager alone in Moscow, independent, self-supporting, and giving everything to my career in medicine. My decision to enter medicine was a coalescence of several driving forces, especially my admiration and respect for the noble work of doctors and my keen appreciation for advances in medicine. The ability to cure disease has long been my primary fascination. As a child living through the illnesses of my grandparents, I wanted to be able to do something to help them. Later, as a medical student, my interest in surgery took flight when my grandfather needed vitreoretinal surgery in the hospital due to his diabetic retinopathy. I went with him and supported him and even made connections: my grandfather’s ophthalmologist would later introduce me to Professor XXXX at Moscow’s Institute of Eye Disease, and he went on to become a significant mentor, introducing me to primary texts and guiding the continuing complexity of my reading. I attended clinics with him, watched him in the operating room, and felt at home with his procedures and the scientific method. As I entered my third year of medical studies, I knew I wanted to find a specialty that would allow me to work directly with patients. I tried to master a field that would facilitate my in-depth exploration of innovative technologies. I became a member of the Students Ophthalmology Society, which led to my making a presentation at a regional conference that helped to illustrate many of the opportunities presented by careers in Ophthalmology. My fourth-year Ophthalmology rotation confirmed my commitment to this extraordinary window of medicine. I chose Ophthalmology because of its intimate relationships with internal medicine, rheumatology, endocrinology, neurology, surgery, pediatrics, and genetics. While small, the visual system is extraordinarily complex, with a vast spectrum of disease processes and abnormalities. I earned a Ph.D. in Ophthalmology in Russia, in addition to the M.D., primarily because I hoped to stay engaged on some level with research opportunities throughout my career. Frankly, I long for the exciting days of my residency at the Moscow Eye Disease Institute, doing extensive research into proliferative diseases of the eye, such as PDR, ROP, and post-traumatic retinopathy. We were looking for the initial (crucial) path mechanism of all these proliferative diseases. I also studied the effects of various rates of oxygen administration on the cell proliferative activity of retinal cells. During my international internship in Germany at the Eye Clinic of XXXX University, I had a rotation in general ophthalmology under Professor XXXX and another in the Vitreoretinal Department with Professor XXXX. Everything I learned -- from optics and anterior segment to glaucoma, plastics, retina, and neuro-ophthalmology -- fascinated me. I experienced the day-to-day activities of an ophthalmologist in a prominent academic center for two years. It was here that I became a fully accredited eye doctor. I have not worked as a medical doctor since I finished my internship in Germany with the Eye Clinic of Cologne University three years ago. Since then, I have made my home in Brooklyn after marrying an American man; I have a wonderful family and now feel very strongly that it is time for me to fully return to my professional aspirations in America after having distinguished myself professionally in Russia, Iceland, and Germany. I now have my family affairs arranged in such a way to be able to give my all to my professional position. I have made solid progress with my USMLE; while I have not attained scores as high as I would have liked, this has much to do with the fact that my education was in Russian, and my latest position as a medical doctor was in German. However, I have made an enormous stride in my English ability and feel qualified for a residency position. Being very friendly is one of my significant assets, and I am a highly self-motivated person with a great passion for my work. I hope to be interviewed for your outstanding program.
