Pediatric Hospital Medicine was created in 1998 and is one of the oldest pediatric hospitalist programs in the country. The Pediatric Hospital Medicine program is committed to providing outstanding clinical care for hospitalized pediatric patients, education of our pediatric house staff and medical students, as well as performing meaningful clinical research and serving in many healthcare quality improvement roles.
As part of this commitment, the Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital was created to offer focused training and strong mentorship in delivering optimal care for hospitalized children, medical education, clinical research, quality improvement, health equity, clinical informatics, and health services research.
The three-year curriculum includes dedicated core rotations on general pediatric inpatient services, as well as exposure to other general areas of hospital-based medicine; complex care, newborn care, sedation, critical care, and co-management with non-medical services. Individualized rotations are tailored to the interests of the fellow.
The core curriculum also includes general training in hospital systems and academic scholarship; Medical Education, Patient Safety, Clinical Research, Quality Improvement, Heath Equity, Evidence-Based Medicine, Leadership, and Business Administration. Further scholarship and master’s-degree-based academic programs through Harvard include but are not limited to the following: Public Health, Health Services Research, Education, and Clinical Informatics.
