Overview

Stacy Reynolds, MD

Thank you for your interest in the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship at Carolinas Medical Center and Levine Children's Hospital. This fellowship is emergency medicine based (ABEM-RRC) and welcomes candidates from both emergency medicine and pediatric backgrounds. In addition to the Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics Departments there are many additional departments that support this fellowship such as surgery and orthopaedics. The PEM Fellowship is an integrated program with a curriculum that consists of three major areas: evidence based medicine and clinical training, conferences, and research. Although independence and responsibility increase throughout the fellowship period, the fellows do not work in the children's emergency department without an attending physically present to provide feedback, education, and oversight at all times. The fellow still functions as the attending but there is a board certified specialist available to guide when possible and assist if needed.

Faculty

Our faculty is made up of pediatric emergency medicine and emergency medicine boarded physicians with a wide range of educational and research interests. A number of our staff are double or triple boarded in many areas including pediatrics, pediatric intensive care, hyperbaric medicine, and toxicology to name a few. Members of the faculty are well represented on local, state, and national committees, review boards, organizations, and governmental entities. Our research faculty are some of the most productive in the country with studies and topics ranging from weapon exposure and domestic violence to pulmonary embolism recognition and sepsis evaluation. Our research faculty and specialized research staff are instrumental in helping guide learners to a successful research project while learning a great deal about design and interpretation. Our faculty are very active in teaching at all levels and have held many national positions such as ACEP President and various leadership roles within the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine.
