Why International Pediatric Emergency Medicine?

Spend two to three months per year abroad using your pediatric acute care skills to treat children in our one- or two-year program. With eight-hour shifts and a limited clinical workload while stateside, you'll keep your clinical skills sharp and have time to focus on coursework to obtain an advanced degree or certificate at no additional cost to you.

Prepare to lead and implement humanitarian efforts by partnering with local NGOs, including Operation Smile and Physicians for Peace. While we have ongoing projects at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital in Haiti and Hospital Infantil Dr. Robert Reid Cabral in the Dominican Republic, your global experience can be tailored to fit your interests.
