About Pediatric Urgent Care Fellowship
The Pediatric Urgent Care fellowship is a one-year fellowship that was developed in the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Emory University in 2016 to better prepare residency graduates and practicing pediatricians to work in the emerging field of urgent care medicine. This fellowship, one of the first of its kind, is designed for pediatricians interested in practicing in either an academic or community setting who desire additional clinical and procedural training in pediatric urgent care. Urgent care providers are expected to provide expert care, often in settings with limited resources. As such, the urgent care provider must be both confident in his or her ability to manage a broad scope of medical problems and acuity, as well as recognize the limitations of his or her training and practice site.
