Research/Simulation

Our clinical researchers coordinate over 25 clinical trials, including physician-initiated single center studies and industry/NIH sponsored multi center trials.

The Beaumont Research Institute is a 72,000 square foot complex which houses facilities that provide an avenue for bench, animal and clinical research. 

We also have 4 biostasticians on staff to help with research projects.

Fellows gain experience in research education through:

• conferences
• lectures
• a mentoring program that matches each trainee with an experienced mentor that work with the fellow on their individual scholarly project from inception to completion

There is a full-time research director, research nurse and research Ph.D. as well as leaders in pediatric emergency medicine and emergency medicine research among the faculty members.

Simulation

Our PEM fellows regularly train in simulation monthly during the entire training duration. High fidelity simulation equipment staffed with dedicated staff trained in simulation, to achieve mastery in rare and complicated pediatric emergency scenarios and procedures. Simulation is hands-down a favorite component of their training. There are also simulations run in-situ during shifts in the ED as well as joint procedure conferences three times a year with our EM residency.

Our fellows expand on their simulation experience by becoming teachers themselves, running our PEM simulation case teaching as third year fellows for our Pediatric residents in-situ on the Pediatric inpatient floor. This has been a wonderful experience for both teaching experience and quality/administrative experience in executing a simulation program during training.
