APP Acute Care Fellow

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Fellowship

The Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital fellowship is designed for both Pediatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) who are passionate about working with pediatrics. Applicants should have completed at least one pediatric clinical rotation, and additional pediatric-related extracurricular experiences are strongly preferred.

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is a premiere clinical and academic health system, providing expert pediatric care for infants, children and teens with some of the most challenging medical problems. Ranked in multiple specialties by U.S. News & World Report, we provide access to innovative treatments and therapies. With more than half of the 259 beds in our teaching hospital devoted to intensive care level services, we are the regional pediatric referral center for Florida's west coast. Physicians and community hospitals count on us to care for critically ill patients and perform complex surgical procedures.

The Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Acute Care Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship is a one-year pediatric fellowship for clinicians credentialed as advanced practice providers (APPs) who are interested in gaining additional training. The fellow will be trained for a career as an acute care pediatric nurse practitioner or physician assistant with an emphasis on excellence in patient care, development of technical skills and clinical translational research.

The fellow will work under the mentored support of experienced APPs and specialty physicians, and will have access to didactic education, high fidelity simulated learning and inquiry opportunities in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins All Children's physician residency program. The fellow will work in an academic inpatient setting and be exposed to ambulatory subspecialties, with rotations including pediatric hospital medicine, pediatric intensive care unit, hematology-oncology, emergency medicine, general surgery and anesthesiology.

As part of the training program, semi-annual performance evaluations and monthly meetings will occur throughout the year. The fellow also will participate in clinical skills exams.

The acute care advanced practice provider fellowship is designed for APPs seeking:

• To bolster greater confidence in caring for medically complex and critically ill children
