How is the pediatric training experience structured?
Two blocks of approximately 16 shifts (12 hours each) in the Children’s Medical Center (CMC) ED are done in the PGY-1 year. Approximately 3 shifts of each EM month are spent at CMC during the PGY-2 and PGY-3 years (12 hour and 8 hour shifts, respectively). Also, PGY-2 residents act as integral team members of the Pediatric ICU for one block.
