YALE UNIVERSITY

The Yale-LSHTM GHIEM fellowship is a 26-month program open to board certified or board eligible emergency physicians.

Fellows engage in clinical work, field research, as well as formal didactic training including a Masters of Science (MSc) in Tropical Medicine and International Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Fellows divide their time between Yale-New Haven, London, and multiple field postings identified during the fellowship.

Year 2:

Year 3:

Fellows are mentored by a group of four permanent and three affiliate Global EM faculty. In addition, many fellows have been mentored by faculty from our world-class Emergency Ultrasound, Wilderness Medicine, Simulation, EMS and Research faculty. Fellows will further be integrated into departmental and Yale University Global Health activities including the resident global health track, global health courses taught on campus, the Yale Global Health Day, and the Yale/Stanford Johnson & Johnson Global Health Scholars program.  In addition, Fellows are integrated at programs throughout the university including the Yale Institute for Global Health and the Yale School of Public Health

In addition to the Masters of Science from LSHTM, fellows will also:

Fellows may also propose additional/alternate short courses to tailor their training to their future career goals – subject to approval by the Fellowship Director.

As part of their core responsibilities, fellows will spend 6-8 months dedicated to field work and research. Through these field postings, fellows will further develop their skills in global public health and healthcare in low-resource settings. 

Fellows will work closely with faculty at Yale, LSHTM, as well as field mentors to develop a research focus that can both meet the thesis requirements of their MSc degree and an initial area of expertise in their global health careers. Most fellows complete their thesis research in the final two months of their fellowship. Fellows are welcome to propose their own area of research or to participate in ongoing projects with section faculty (a partial listing is available below.)

Financial support is provided to cover degree program, short course certificates, travel expenses, field research and to attend and present at national and international conferences.

Working through partnerships at Yale University, fellows may participate in projects around the world including multiple sites in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, East and South Asia, and Latin America (language proficiency required for some sites.)
