Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship Program
Overview of the Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship Program
Directed by Alan Jay Schwartz, MD, MSEd, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia the one year Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship is designed to provide a comprehensive experience that will allow trainees to acquire and maintain knowledge, psychomotor skills and attitudes necessary to provide excellent care, in the perianesthetic period, to children who are critically ill or injured or who suffer acute and chronic pain.
The fellowship consists of:
- Clinical care activities for pediatric patients in the operating room, inpatient hospital units and critical care units
- A didactic curriculum presented in lectures and conferences
Upon successful completion of the rotation, the fellow will be able to:
- Perform appropriate preanesthetic evaluation of a pediatric patient requiring anesthetic care
- Provide perianesthetic care of pediatric patients undergoing all types of surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
- Evaluate pediatric patients in pain and prescribe management modalities to treat these problems
