The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship prepares physicians to be future leaders in the field of pediatric emergency medicine. The curriculum provides the skills to excel in clinical care, teaching, administration and research.

The Emergency Department has 55 part- and full-time faculty who are active in research and teaching. The Emergency Department receives over 125,000 visits per year. A second emergency department within a community hospital serves the most medically under-resourced part of Washington, D.C. Children's National Emergency Department is a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center with active trauma services and an integrated Division of Transport Medicine. The Division has a vibrant research atmosphere that includes faculty working in disaster preparedness, quality improvement, advocacy, ultrasound, lab-based work, pre-hospital services, global health, data analytics and informatics and medical education. Many faculty conduct multi-institutional research through national research networks.
