The Department of Emergency Medicine’s non-ACGME Global Emergency Medicine (GEM) fellowship is recruiting to start July 2025!

Our vision is to build GEM capacity and preparedness through the training of the next generation of leaders in sustainable global emergency care partnerships and systems development, education, and research.
Fellowship Experience
At the end of the training, the fellow will have acquired the following competencies:
- Design and conduct research in Global Health
