The Division of EMS offers several Fellowship experiences:

  • A 1-year ACGME approved EMS Fellowship
    • Rhode Island offers an ideal setting for an EMS Fellowship.  With a rich variety of EMS agencies all easily accessible and access to a centralized statewide system regulated by the Department of Health Center for EMS, Fellows learn the breadth of EMS, from volunteer Basic EMS through third-service paid Paramedic EMS and Critical Care Transport.
    • The Fellowship offers comprehensive experiences in EMS Medical Direction through agreements with numerous local EMS agencies where fellows are immersed as medical directors/EMS physicians.  For example:
      • LifePACT Critical Care Transport Service: Clinical shifts with the only 24/7/365 physician-staffed critical care team in New England.
      • Cumberland EMS: Suburban Paramedic-level system with a physician response vehicle.
      • Pascoag Fire Department: Rural system with a physician response vehicle integrated into the response of 6 agencies.
      • Jamestown Fire Department: Rural system with an ALS response vehicle.
    • With multiple other rotation agreements, the EMS Fellowship offers field experience in many settings relevant to EMS system operation, including:
      • Several 911 response agencies (with a focus on fire-based EMS) and including HAZMAT, Technical Rescue, Tactical and Dive response training
      • Rhode Island Disaster Medical Assistance Team/Medical Reserve Corps, including mass event, sporting events, and other major local incident and disaster coordination for the Providence area
      • Cuttyhunk Volunteer Fire & Rescue, offering an austere island EMS experience
      • USCG Station Castle Hill, coordinating and responding to marine incidents and mass events
      • TG Green Airport Crash Rescue Team
      • RI Department of Health Center for EMS for statewide regulation and protocol supervision of the EMS system
      • Area Helicopter EMS systems
    • Clinical shifts at Rhode Island Hospital and the LifePACT Critical Care Transport service, with options to moonlight at other Brown University Health Hospitals and on LifePACT
    • Attendance at the NAESEMSO and NAEMSP annual meetings, FDNY Medical Special Operations Course, and the NAEMSP Medical Director's Course supported
    • Generous benefit package and salary by PGY level
    • Open to residency-trained emergency physicians qualified for ABEM/AOBEM board certification or equivalent, full licensure in Rhode Island, Brown Emergency Medicine employment, and clinical privileges at Rhode Island Hospital and other Brown University Health Hospitals
  • A combined ACGME EMS and Disaster Fellowship over 2 years, with an option for an MPH (or equivalent graduate program) at Brown.
