Columbia University Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship
https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/research/global-emergency-medical-fello...
The CU Global EM Fellowship has a history of training emergency physician educators, implementors, and researchers to decrease health disparities for vulnerable populations in settings with limited health resources. We approach these challenges through a data-driven, social determinants of health (social EM) approach to ensure health equity and justice. We produce global health leaders who approach public health problem-solving using mixed methods, implementation science to impact the global health system strengthening and humanitarian programs, effective advocacy, and impact policy.
The CU Global EMF is a two-year program that combines in-depth clinical and public health work in low health-resource settings. Fellows enroll in a Master of Public Health (MPH) in the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health (Pop Fam), under the Forced Migration and Health program. It enables fellows to:
- Obtain the Public Health and Humanitarian Action (PHHA) Certificate (Choose Pop Fam and PHHA certificate to see the 2-year curriculum)
- Contribute to the Columbia University sidHARTe - Strengthening Emergency Systems Program through partnerships with governments (currently Ghana & Rwanda), universities, and local organizations to ensure timely, integrated, adaptive health systems strengthening throughout an effectively linked continuum of care.
