AbstractA survey of all known pediatric emergency medicine fellowship programs as of December 1990 was conducted in order to characterize and compare certain attributes of these programs with those that existed in 1988. The following attributes of the training programs were studied: number of programs, length of training, number of first-year positions, number of graduates, program participation in the National Resident Match Program, amount of clinical time required, elective rotations, didactic, research, administrative, and teaching experience, patient volumes, and attending staffing. Emergency department time varies between three and nine months each year. Forty-three (100%) of the programs require specific rotations and offer didactic medical education, and nearly all (97%) require research and offer training in administrative areas. Patient volumes vary between 15,000 and 90,000, with a median of 39,000. The data offered are meant to act as a guide to further development of new and existing programs.
