Pediatric Emergency Medicine

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, under the Department of Emergency Medicine at Albany Medical College, within the Albany Med Health System, is actively recruiting pediatric emergency medicine physicians.

Opened in 2018, The Massry Family Children’s Emergency Center is made up of 17 acute care beds, including 3 resuscitation suites and additional space for a minor care unit.

We are the region’s only verified Level 1 Trauma Center, caring for more than 22,000 patients annually. We currently have six full-time pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) faculty, and are seeking motivated candidates to join our growing division.

Applicants must be fellowship trained and board certified / eligible in pediatric emergency medicine.

The Department of Emergency Medicine (EM) has a well-established residency program that began over 25 years ago. Our faculty members have fellowship training or advanced expertise in pediatric emergency medicine, ultrasound, clinical research, toxicology, sports medicine, simulation, emergency medical services, resuscitation, and critical care medicine.

Our department is uniquely dedicated to the care of pediatric patients. We work closely with the Department of Pediatrics to

provide specialized and collaborative care for patients in the Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Medical Center.

Our Department of Pediatrics offers support for pediatric and surgical subspecialties including neonatology, critical care, infectious disease, neurology, pulmonary, hematology / oncology, rheumatology, cardiology, urology, and general surgery.

PEM faculty teach and mentor Albany Medical College students, emergency medicine and pediatric residents, and advanced practice providers.
