Pediatric emergency medicine fellowship

A Message from the Director

Welcome to the Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program at Atlantic Health. We are committed to providing our residents with the education and skill set needed to meet the ever-evolving expectations of our remarkable field.

With a focus on resident physician wellness, our institution and this program have your professional and personal interests in mind. We encourage our residents to explore their talents and capabilities throughout residency, an invaluable part of any educational experience. Moreover, Atlantic Health is consistently voted one of Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For®.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship program here at Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center. I created, and have been the director of, the fellowship since 2006 and am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss what has made this fellowship so unique and so successful for the past 15 years.

It is hard to put into words the nature of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship. However, if I had to do so, the word I would choose is “family.” Due to the small size of our program, we get to know each other well. As the director, I can actively engage with our fellows - to build upon strengths while shoring up weaknesses. Also because of our small program size, we can truly put “family first."

We work together to ensure not only clinical and academic success but also life/work balance. We aim to graduate clinicians with an excellent balance between an evidence-based approach to clinical matters, hands-on skill competency, and a strong support system of friends and family.

The setting of Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center is unique as it is a tertiary referral center in a community-hospital setting. This combination leads to our having a unique hybrid, “communiversity.” We care for patients in conjunction with attending physicians, as opposed to other residents. There are nine residencies at Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center: Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Ob/Gyn, Surgery, Dentistry, Family Practice, and Radiology.

We mentor and teach physicians who are clinically proficient, competent teachers, as well as knowledgeable investigators. We stress professionalism, communication skills, clinical efficiency, physician wellness and work/life balance. The program is structured to produce highly competent and compassionate clinicians and academicians who deliver prompt and evidence-based care for any emergency encountered.

I look forward to discussing how your goals and our program may complement each other and we hope you find the program that fits your needs. In this unprecedented time of stress and illness, we look forward to easing the application process through a virtual interview and tour to ensure your safety while still providing you the true experience of coming to our program.

We look forward to your application >
