Kings County Hospital was named the first level 1 Trauma Center in the US and continues to be integral to caring for the severely injured in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, children and adolescents experience significant trauma in our locale. In addition to what you see during your PEM shifts, pediatrics trained fellows spend their trauma block in the adult Critical Care Trauma (CCT) area, and have additional exposure throughout the 2nd and 3rd year via additional CCT shifts. As fellows you will be putting into practice core ATLS skills, assembling and leading a team, performing bedside procedures, and working closely with our trauma surgeons during your training.
