The University of Chicago Global Emergency Medicine Medical Education (GEM Med-Ed) fellowship aims to develop future global emergency care leaders by providing formal training in medical education curriculum design and execution, as well as experiential training through global medical education leadership and program administration.
Why Medical Education as a Global EM fellowship?
Low- and middle-income countries bear a disproportionate burden of acute injury and illness, a significant percentage of which may be intervened upon with accessible, timely, skilled emergency care. In response to this demonstrated need for emergency care and Emergency Medicine programs, Global Emergency Medicine professionals have moved from direct provision of care to building capacity by partnering to develop emergency care resources. Among other contributions, EC/EM development requires appropriate, experienced and skilled teaching and training for local medical professionals.
Emergency medicine education and training is instrumental to advancing emergency care globally, and sound development work mandates appropriate medical education training.
