Train in Paediatric Emergency Medicine. Be the paediatric emergency physician every sick child deserves.

The Challenge

Children Are Not Small Adults

Doctor caring for a child patient

A 3-year-old in respiratory distress. A non-verbal infant with an unclear history. A teenager who won't talk. Paediatric emergencies demand a different skillset — different pharmacology, different anatomy, different psychology. Emergency departments see thousands of children every year, but few physicians have the subspecialty depth to manage the most complex paediatric presentations. That gap needs you.

Career Upgrade

You Already Have the Foundation

EM → PEM: The Career Upgrade

1

Your resuscitation skills translate directly

Airway, breathing, circulation — you already own the ABCs. PEM teaches you to apply them to a 2kg neonate and a 90kg adolescent in the same shift.

2

Your decision-making gets sharper

EM trained you to think fast. PEM trains you to think fast about patients who can't tell you what's wrong.

3

Your career opens up

PEM subspecialists are in demand across Malaysia and internationally. Lead departments, shape policy, train the next generation.

4

Your impact multiplies

Every child you save goes home to decades of life ahead. The stakes are immeasurable.
