Global Emergency Medicine
Fellowship Program
Brown Universities Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 Pandemic reshaped the approach to training in Global Emergency Medicine, but our fellowship was able to adapt and continued to grow during that time.
For example, in collaboration with humanitarian organization Project Hope, our division faculty and fellows helped lead the response and assisted with the creation and implementation of a COVID-19 preparedness and response training program that has scaled up healthcare workforces in over 10 countries with more than 4000 front-line practitioners trained. We are planning, training, and preparing for the next pandemic now, so when the time comes we are ready to deploy our resources once again.
Global Experience
The 2-year fellowship offers 3 months per year of protected travel and research time. Easy scheduling allows for fellows to attend international conferences for presentations. Established international experiences available to our fellows include projects in Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Nepal, Bangladesh, Belize, Ecuador, and Armenia, in areas such as post-conflict development, EM curricula design and training, acute humanitarian and disaster response, and global EM research. Visit the Global Sites page for more information about our well established core global opportunities.
Fellows may also work closely with a faculty mentor within the Division of Global Emergency Medicine or outside faculty to establish their own international program or research project. Apart from HRIC, HELP, and other beneficial resources include the Brown University's Global Health Initiative, a unique forum for faculty and fellow collaboration that fosters cross-departmental mentoring relationships. Fellows will have the opportunity to work with the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies.
Training and Mentoring
The Department of Emergency Medicine at Brown University has one of the few formal academic Divisions of Global Emergency Medicine anywhere in the country allowing us to offer our Global Emergency Medicine fellows a wide range of training and mentoring resources. Our Division of Global Emergency Medicine includes faculty and fellows actively engaged in international emergency medicine development, training, research and humanitarian relief.
Over two years fellows will acquire and apply skills in epidemiology, research methodology, and program planning through a longitudinal academic project. As part of our Global Emergency Medicine fellowship, fellows can choose to earn an advanced degree in the following:
Fellows who already possess one or more of these degrees may opt out of the degree requirement at the discretion of the fellowship director.
In addition to the advanced degree program, fellows will participate in a dedicated Humanitarian Emergency / Disaster Certification course, such as the Health Emergencies in Large Populations (HELP) course through the International Committee of the Red Cross and World Health Organization and/or the Harvard Humanitarian Response Intensive Course (HRIC). Fellows will have the opportunity to work with the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies.
Fellows will have access to Canvas, our online tool supporting the Global EM Division
Clinical Experience
Fellows will function as a teaching attending in the a high-volume Level I trauma center and local community hospital working with residents of a renowned four-year academic EM training program.
