Training consists of 3 components

• Clinical commitment: Fellows are expected to work 56 clinical hours per month as attendings in the OHSU & Doernbecher Children's Hospital Emergency Department, a level I trauma center with an Observation Unit and Chest Pain Center.
• Didactic component: Fellows typically complete either the OHSU MPH program, or the OHSU Human Investigations Program, a 2-year certificate curriculum in research methods, with the opportunity to earn a Masters in Clinical Research (MCR). There is flexibility to accommodate similarly rigorous masters or certificate programs to meet the needs of the fellow.
• Administration: The Education Fellow functions in the role of an assistant program director and is actively involved in resident and student teaching and clinical evaluation, curriculum planning, resident selection, and other aspects of residency program administration.
