EM Global Health Fellowship
This is a one year fellowship designed to develop skills that will help advance the field of emergency medicine in resource- poor areas and lead fellows on a career path in global health. Individual program emphasis will be determined by the fellow's areas of interest and may include clinical care, capacity-building, teaching or research. Global Health fellows will work a limited number of clinical shifts and will spend the remainder of their time involved in ongoing education and practical global health experiences. Fellows will have the opportunity to enroll in the University of Wisconsin Global Health Institute Graduate Professional Capstone Certificate if they do not already hold an advanced degree (MPH). Field experiences are focused in Uganda and Guatemala, but may include other sites based on individual fellow interest.
