Paediatrics – Emergency and Acute Care

The Department of Paediatrics includes academic clinicians providing emergency and ongoing care for acutely unwell or injured children.

This care occurs across Monash Health, including Monash Children’s Hospital (paediatric intensive care) and our emergency departments (Monash Medical Centre, Dandenong Hospital and Casey Hospital).

We combine world-leading research with excellent clinical care to provide optimal patient outcomes. We collaborate with colleagues across Australia and internationally.

Many opportunities for students are available, ranging from short research placements, BMedSc(Hons) projects, up to PhD candidates.
