Starting July 2017, the New York Presbyterian PEM Fellowship at Weill
Cornell Medicine will introduce a new Global Health Track (PEM-GHT) – the
first of its kind in the New York Metropolitan area. We recognize the
complementary nature of these fields, and that pediatric emergency medicine
is a common path toward a career in international healthcare for
children. The mission of the PEM-GHT training is to promote Pediatric
Emergency Medicine and Acute Care Programs for children internationally,
through leadership, teaching, advocacy, research, and clinical skills. This
new track will enable the PEM fellow to meet all required ACGME standards,
while at the same time receiving intensive, focused didactic and
experiential training in global childhood health.  Nationally renowned
Weill Cornell Medicine faculty with knowledge and experience in the field
of Global Health will partner with our Pediatric Emergency program to offer
outstanding opportunities for the PEM trainee to learn and to perform
scholarly research. The curriculum will address the unique needs of
children in resource-limited communities, both in the U.S. and abroad.  We
will accept applications via ERAS for the July 2017 PEM fellowship match.
