Pediatric - Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant

Established in 1997, and now includes more than 150 pediatric subspecialist physicians and practicing in numerous locations. They provide care for premature infants, newborns, children, adolescents and young adults with congenital, acquired and acute conditions.

The Emergency Department provides emergency pediatric and trauma care to infants, children, and adolescents (up to 21 years of age). We operate a 39-bed Level II Pediatric Trauma Center that sees about 120,000 patient visits annually. More than two-thirds of the Hospital s patients are admitted through the Emergency Department.

The Emergency Department is staffed by board-certified pediatric emergency physicians. In addition to their years of experience in providing pediatric emergency care, our emergency specialists have undergone a minimum of three years of general pediatric training plus an additional two to three years of fellowship training in pediatric emergency medicine.
