Fellow

There is currently only one fellowship offered in tactical emergency medicine (TEM), available through Johns Hopkins University. The start date for this fellowship is July 1 with one position offered. The application does not have a match process, but according to the website, mid-year candidates can be considered. Main components of this fellowship are mentorship in medical direction of special operations and their medical programs; direct field experience with local, state, and federal law enforcement; and engagement in medical control responsibilities for these law enforcement activities.

As there exists only one fellowship for TEM, applicants who desire a career in tactical medicine may also pursue an EMS fellowship program with a tactical medicine department or offer emphasis on TEM. Information on these fellowships can be found on the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) TEM Section website.
