BC Children’s Hospital is offering a 2 year
fellowship training program in Pediatric
Emergency Medicine to qualified applicants who
are interested in learning in a fun, supportive,
enriching environment. We aim to attract and
develop highly motivated, intelligent, and
exceptional fellows who will become leaders in the
field of Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
BC Children’s Hospital is situated in beautiful
Vancouver, Canada, one of the most vibrant and
active cities in the world. Known for its stunning
scenery and landscape, Vancouver provides the
perfect backdrop for fellowship training in
Pediatric Emergency Medicine. The hospital is a
tertiary care pediatric facility and regional trauma
center, which offers a whole spectrum of
subspecialty services including a pediatric
intensive care unit and a specialized pediatric
transport service. The emergency room cares for
a variety of pediatric complaints, ranging from the
infant with a runny nose and cough to the major
trauma patient.
Our fellowship program accepts applications from
residents in Canadian training programs
(paediatrics and emergency medicine), as well as
International applicants who have completed their
pediatric residency training. This fully accredited
program offers a curriculum which meets and
often exceeds Royal College of Physician and
Surgeons of Canada standards.
Clinical rotations are done in Pediatric
Emergency, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesia, Intensive
Care, and Adult Emergency in first year, and
Pediatric Emergency, Plastic surgery, Adult
Trauma, Toxicology and Pre Hospital Care in
second year. All fellows are given ample
opportunity to pursue elective experiences, either
in Vancouver or at other centers worldwide.
Our educational curriculum has been carefully
designed to cover all aspects of emergency
medicine, while providing our fellows with the
opportunity to both learn and teach in a supportive
academic environment. Our curriculum consists
of:
• Core curriculum lectures
• Case-based lectures
• Research methods course
• Administrative course
• Disaster and mass casualty
training
• Critical appraisal / Journal club
• Procedural skills training
• And much, much more….
The training offered through our fellowship
program includes a comprehensive Pediatric
Simulation Curriculum, which is run longitudinally
throughout the 2 years of fellowship. This
curriculum uses state of the art simulation
technology to teach resuscitation, teamwork and
communication skills. It provides our fellows the
chance to be the leader in simulated
resuscitations, while working in a team
environment with nursing staff, respiratory
therapists and other residents. Training in this
setting ensures that fellows graduating from our
program are confident leaders and
communicators when managing future
resuscitation cases.
Our program provides outstanding opportunities
for clinical and educational research. Our
Research Director Dr. Ran Goldman has

extensive research experience and serves as a
mentor for all fellows for their research
endeavours. Further guidance is provided by the
program director, epidemiologists, and research
supervisors who help to ensure that the fellow’s
research projects come to fruition in the form of
publication and/or conference presentation.
