Arrowhead is a 465-bed, state-of-the-art teaching facility based in Colton, CA. The San Bernardino County-owned hospital cares for a large urban indigent population with an emergency department (ED) annual census greater than 140,000 patients. This Level II Trauma Center also features a burn center. Fellows in the Vituity EMPA fellowship program at Arrowhead receive extensive training in trauma and resuscitation of critically ill patients. Arrowhead has been a designated trauma center since 1985. The ED is a wholly independent hospital department with a well-developed emergency medical services system and fully operating paramedic base station. The ED has 50 beds organized into sections correlating with patient acuity. Patients are seen for urgent care problems and are screened for higher levels of care in the Rapid Medical Evaluation® (RME) and Treatment Area, which is a walk-in setting. Higher-acuity patients are triaged to one of five pods.
The Vituity EMPA Fellowship at Arrowhead provides clinical and didactic instruction. The curriculum is structured on the American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP) Model of Clinical Practice 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 42 weeks in emergency medicine, including emergency ultrasonography. During the EM rotations, Fellows are closely supervised by a team of NCCPA- certified physician assistants as well as board-certified or board-eligible emergency physicians. Fellows will complete three-week rotations in pediatrics, surgery/burn, orthopedics, OB/GYN, anesthesia, and respiratory therapy.
The didactic segment of the fellowship includes four hours each week of formal training and discussion. We encourage feedback and interaction from all fellows. Elements include:
Board Rounds: A 30-minute weekly lecture held at 6:45 a.m. with EM attending physicians and residents
Journal Club: Held quarterly. Fellows are assigned an article to present
Morbidity and Mortality Conference (M&M): Interesting and pedagogical cases are reviewed and discussed in a confidential forum
Grand Rounds Conference: EMPA fellows present cases with emphasis on disease process and treatment rendered
Certifications: All fellows take the certification courses for Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and complete the California-Approved Controlled Substance Course
