Message from Program Directors

Thank you for your interest in the pediatric emergency medicine fellowship program at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts. While our PEM fellowship was established in 2021, for decades the pediatric emergency department and the Children’s Medical Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center have been caring for ill and injured children from across central Massachusetts, as well as New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.  Our staff of board-certified pediatric emergency medicine providers are excited to have created a world-class fellowship program with the aim of training the next generation of clinicians, educators, and leaders within the field of pediatric emergency medicine. We are hoping to build upon our previous years of success by matching a fellow that is eager to learn in a supportive environment tailored to meet each individual fellow’s needs, and who is excited to have the unique experience of being intimately involved in shaping the foundations of our fellowship curriculum to the benefit of future fellows for years to come. 

We will be conducting virtual interviews for the upcoming recruitment season. This decision was made in accordance with the recommendations of multiple national residency and fellowship leadership groups and is in line with best practices as outlined by UMass Chan GME. By holding virtual interviews, our hope is that all interested applicants will feel empowered to apply to our program without worrying about the time and expense incurred with travelling long distances for an in-person interview.

Interviews will be conducted in the mornings on select weekdays in September and October.

Please check back again as we will be updating this website regularly with additional information.

Thank you for your time and consideration!
