Scholarly Activities

Fellows are required to pursue a scholarly project based on their areas of academic interest. This scholarly project can come from any of the scholarly domains identified within the pediatric hospital medicine curriculum. Each fellow completes an introductory clinical research course as well as additional didactic training across all domains. Time for development and implementation of the scholarly project is protected aside from clinical expectations.

• Clinical research
• Quality improvement
• Patient safety
• Medical education
• Leadership
• Advocacy
• Practice management

Faculty in the division have expertise in these areas and are available as mentors for all fellowship projects. In addition, faculty across multiple subspecialty divisions are available as members of our fellow’s scholarship oversight committees to provide an alternative perspective on project design and implementation, statistical analysis and abstract development.
