The Emergency Medicine Fellowship in Global Health is a 2 year post-graduate training program for emergency medicine residency trained physicians who are board-eligible or board certified.  The fellowship focuses on post-graduate training to prepare fellows for a career in Global Health.  The focus areas are emergency medicine development internationally, global public health, and humanitarian relief and disaster response.  The emphasis on these areas and weight given over the course of the 2 year fellowship is dependent on each fellows individual interest and is reevaluated at 6 month intervals.  SIUH also boasts the only Global Health Emergency Medicine PA fellowship in the United States, offering our MD fellows a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration.
