Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Welcome! The Yale New Haven Children's Hospital Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship was established in 2000. It has since grown tremendously in size and depth. We currently train a total of 7 fellows.

The overall objective of our training program is to provide trainees with excellent clinical training, resources to pursue independent research, and unique opportunities for educational pursuits. Our philosophy is that by providing a strong foundation during the early parts of the fellowship and a stimulating environment, the trainee will acquire the skills necessary for independence in clinical decision-making, research design, and educational and administrative endeavors.

Thank you for your interest in our program. We hope you will continue to explore the various opportunities that we offer our fellows and learn about life in Connecticut! I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to learn more.

Sincerely,

Melissa Langhan, MD, MHS
Fellowship Director
