Project Summary:
Multiple studies in the past 10 years have shown pediatric residents are completing their residencies under prepared life-saving skills. Our fellowship program at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is undertaking a restructuring of our fellowship curriculum.

Our objective is to better prepare these physicians to care for critically ill children prior to the start of their clinical rotations.
