“I truly feel lucky to have been chosen to train at St. Chris. I have never felt more prepared to be out in the real world due to the huge range of acuity and volume I saw in my 3 years at St. Chris. The attendings are so amazing and work well together to accommodate your learning style and fine-tune your skill sets. The relationships I gained from the St. Chris family will last a lifetime!“

“St. Chris is such a special place to train. It is full of people who truly care about our patients and the community. This fellowship will challenge you in all the best ways. You will leave a better communicator and with very strong clinical skills.”
Chris Malabanan, MD
"I truly enjoyed my fellowship experience at SCHC. I was able to learn directly from PEM faculty and through multidisciplinary collaboration with pediatric sub-specialists. The curriculum also allowed me the opportunity to experience managing my own ED zone. I learned the skills and confidence needed to make medical decisions and become a strong leader in my own Emergency Department."
Caroline Shepherd, DO
“St. Chris was a wonderful place to learn how to expertly manage a broad range of pediatric emergency patients, from the occasional primary care concerns (as an EM residency trained fellow, this was important to me) to of course the high-acuity presentations, which are usually multiple times a shift being at the only level one pediatric trauma center in the area. I felt supported by a diverse faculty and resident team, skilled pediatric ED nurses, and subspecialties on call should you need them. Finally, my favorite part of St. Chris was the patients themselves. Being located in a largely underserved area allowed us to work with a rewarding patient population, such that I felt like I was making a difference every day.”

I’m incredibly grateful for my pediatric emergency medicine fellowship training at SCHC. The experience of training in a high-volume, clinically active emergency department serving a high-needs, vulnerable patient population was deeply rewarding and humbling. The close-knit, supportive faculty created a true family atmosphere while providing strong mentorship. I also appreciated the numerous opportunities to become involved in both UME at Drexel and GME, which helped broaden my perspective and experience as a physician educator.
