Pediatric emergency medicine fellowships adopt a new application process

The growth of the subspecialty of pediatric emergency medicine has created a subsequent growth in the demands of pediatric emergency medicine fellowship training. To facilitate the application process for both applicants and fellowship training programs, a uniform application and uniform deadlines have been adopted by the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Director's Subcommittee. The Electronic Residency Application Service will provide online support necessary for the implementation of this new process. A description of the new process and a description of theoretical benefits from this change are described. Pediatric emergency medicine fellowship applicants should be encouraged to investigate resources describing the new application process.
