Sponsored by Brown EM and affiliated with the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and its school of public health, our two-year* academic fellowship offers a rich array of practice opportunities and mentorship in all key domains of Social Emergency Medicine, including clinical care, research, administration, education, and advocacy.
In addition to working as attending physicians in the emergency department, fellows will practice Street Medicine through regular shifts with the Brown Street Outreach Program. Fellows will gain leadership and administrative experience by serving as Assistant Medical Director of either the Street Medicine or the Community Health Worker program. A diverse group of core faculty members will provide mentorship and teaching in Social EM content areas, and fellows will engage in a mentored, longitudinal project in their targeted area of interest. This unique, customizable fellowship will provide the foundation for a successful academic career advancing health equity and population health.
