Welcome to Baylor College of Medicine
https://www.bcm.edu/departments/emergency-medicine
The goal of our fellowship is to train emergency medicine residency graduates to be innovative leaders in the field of global health. Set in the most diverse city in the nation, with a wide range of international partners, we provide fellows with custom training designed to hone existing clinical skills and academic interests while providing broader exposure to the diverse field of global health both at home and abroad. These include global emergency medicine development and education, tropical medicine, health policy, disaster response and humanitarian relief.
We are not taking a fellow for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Fellowship Experience
Our two-year academic fellowship is set in the most diverse city in the nation. The National School of Tropical Medicine is on-campus and offers our fellows extensive tropical medicine training as well as lecturing opportunities. Leaders in global and innovative healthcare across disciplines are also at BCM, providing ready partners for mentorship and academic projects both locally and abroad, including the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative, Baylor Global Initiatives, the TMC Innovation Institute and many others. Please see our website for more detailed information.
Fellowship Curriculum
The fellowship is two years and includes an MPH or equivalent degree, global fieldwork and research in addition to clinical work in the Emergency Department at BCM-affiliated hospitals. While baseline components make up the curriculum framework, it is designed to be flexible to best support the fellow’s interests and development in global emergency medicine. Specific curriculum components include: MPH or equivalent degree with a global health concentration. International disaster/humanitarian relief courses such as the Health Emergencies in Large Populations course and the Harvard Humanitarian Response Intensive Course. Research including at least one first-author manuscript and abstract presentation at a national or international conference, such as ACEP, SAEM or ICEM. Development of emergency medicine systems and/or educational curriculum at one of our global sites. In addition, there may be the opportunity to complete a joint global emergency medicine and ultrasound fellowship at BCM.
