Department Benefits
Within our off-site offices at EMStat (550 E. Genessee St), there is a fellows’ office with computers, copiers and printers for free use. EMStat is also home to a simulation center with capabilities for high-fidelity scenario simulations and task training.
At the hospital, there is a code-secured office for PEM attendings and fellows with computers and lockers near the PED.
Every year, our fellows participate in many conferences paid for by the department. All fellows have a trip to the annual PEM Assembly. Second- and third-year fellows attend either AAP or ACEP. First year fellows attend BASE Camp, a fully immersive simulation boot camp in NYC. The department also hosts various local conferences including PEM Assembly and Tox Teaching Day that fellows will attend and present in during their final year. Fellows will also have the opportunity to attend and present at the monthly Upstate PEM Consultants Conference.
