Kaweah is a powerhouse teaching hospital and a recognized Trauma Center, Primary Stroke Center, and Comprehensive Cardiac Center. As a public hospital, the ED treats more than 90,000 patients each year from Tulare, Kings, and surrounding counties, making it one of the busiest EDs in California.
Kaweah embodies Vituity’s Culture of Caring. The providers are huge advocates for the underprivileged, and they started a Street Medicine Program in order to provide healthcare to the unsheltered population. They believe in a team approach, thus the Fellows work really closely with the physicians rather than having a segregated work flow.
During the Vituity EM AP Fellowship you’ll find that our passion for patient care is the most important part of the educational focus. We are committed to honing clinical expertise that leads to better service for our patients and promotes community health. The Fellowship curriculum is structured on the American College of Graduate Medical Education and the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) Standards for Clinical Postgraduate PA Programs.
The clinical practicum focuses on hands-on training. Rotations include 48 weeks in emergency medicine, with emergency ultrasound. During the EM rotations, Fellows are closely supervised by a physician assistant as well as board-certified or board-eligible emergency physicians who are certified by the ABEM and/or the AOBEM. Fellows rotate through in-house, hospital-based and ED-based specialties, including: critical care/ICU, trauma/surgery, hospitalist medicine/RRT, OB/GYN, pediatrics, anesthesia, ultrasound, EMS/Admin, psychiatry
The didactic segment of the fellowship includes five hours each week of formal training and discussion encouraging feedback and interaction from all fellows. This portion of the training includes:
Procedure workshops: hands-on training in a variety of procedures
Case presentations: interesting patient cases selected by the PA
Morbidity and Mortality Conference (M&M): interesting and pedagogical cases are reviewed and discussed in a confidential forum
Grand Round Conference: fascinating cases are presented by each EM AP fellow, including a lecture of the disease process identified and treatment rendered
Leadership role as appointed Chief Fellow
