The Department of Emergency Medicine at Brown University has one of the few formal academic Divisions of International Emergency Medicine anywhere in the country, allowing us to offer our Global Emergency Medicine fellows a wide range of training and mentoring resources. This two-year academic fellowship boasts a wealth of research mentoring opportunities, robust interdepartmental collaboration, and a rich clinical and teaching experience, both domestically and abroad. Established international experiences available to our fellows include projects in Rwanda, Liberia, Nicaragua, Haiti, Turkey, Bangladesh, American Samoa, and Fiji in areas such as post-conflict development, EM curricula design and training, acute humanitarian and disaster response, and global EM research. Residents have multiple opportunities to learn about Global Health through the residency conference program, the division lecture series, and Global EM specific journal clubs. Additionally, you may elect to pursue an elective at one of our international sides. The Division of Global Emergency Medicine currently has long-term relationships with hospitals in Rwanda, American Samoa, Kenya and Colombia. Each of these core sites has its own clinical, educational, and research objectives. To better understand the opportunities available at each of these sites please visit the Global Sites. Residents who would like to pursue a global elective in countries other than the core sites are welcome to discuss elective opportunities with the Division of Global Emergency Medicine. Funding for resident electives is available through the Division of Global Emergency Medicine. The Division of Global Emergency Medicine sponsors 1-2 residents each year to participate in the Harvard Humanitarian Response Intensive Course (HRIC) held every spring at Harvard. Residents are selected through an application process in late winter of the preceding year. In the past, residents have also attended the Health Emergencies in Large Populations (HELP) Course organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), with additional support provided by the Division. EM Residents are also eligible to participate in the BRIGHT Pathway for Global Health through Brown University (link: http://www.brownbright.org). This is an optional 2-year, longitudinal global health experience during which residents deepen their understanding of global health and pursue a scholarly project. Interested residents are encouraged to apply to join the Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) or participate in ongoing research projects and global curriculum development with our Global EM faculty.

Program Description The Brown University School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine is offering a one or two-year fellowship in emergency medicine administration and healthcare leadership. This fellowship is geared toward individuals interested in gaining more experience and training before endeavoring to pursue a career as a leader in emergency medicine and the healthcare delivery system. This fellowship is ideally suited for individuals who see themselves as future leaders within a department, as a director, in a practice group, or even within a healthcare institution. This is a post-residency non-ACGME approved fellowship offering a wide variety of unique clinical sites with highly experienced Brown faculty.

The fellows will continue to refine their clinical skills in the care of the full spectrum of emergency department patients at our clinical sites. They will be evaluated by residents and medical directors. They will also receive feedback on performance on quality metrics. Medical knowledge. The fellows will continue to acquire knowledge through conference attendance, independent reading and board certification preparation. Professionalism. The fellows will gain understanding in the elements of professionalism expected not only of emergency physicians, but physician leaders through the fellowship and associated coursework. Systems-based practice. This is essentially one of the foci of the fellowship: learning how to optimize the delivery of emergency care from a departmental and system perspective. This includes any associated advanced degree work. Practice-based learning and improvement. The fellow will be included in administrative meetings at all levels and asked for input; feedback will be provided in discussion with leadership teams. Interpersonal and communication skills.

The Brown Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Program is a one-year program geared towards board certified/eligible emergency physicians seeking a niche in emergency ultrasound. We will provide you with the knowledge and skills to develop a fulfilling career in emergency ultrasound. Fellowship participants will develop the ability to perform and interpret both basic and advanced ultrasound applications at the bedside. In addition, fellows have the opportunity to teach both residents and medical students through hands-on ultrasound sessions and didactics. They also assist with weekly journal club and image review, and will contribute to a research project during their fellowship. We currently have six ultrasound faculty dedicated to the education of our fellows, residents and medical students. Curriculum Applications: Fellows will master the basic ultrasound applications as defined by ACEP: Trauma/Airway, Pregnancy, Aorta, Cardiac/hemodynamics, Biliary, Urinary Tract, DVT, Soft-tissue, MSK, Thoracic, Bowel, Ocular and Procedural Guidance. In addition, fellows will learn advanced applications such as Testicular, Nerve Blocks, Advanced Cardiac etc Hands-on: Fellows will participate in hands-on sessions throughout the week-scanning directly with EUS faculty, scanning independently and teaching residents and medical students in their scan shifts. The expectation is that a fellow performs at least 1,000 scans over the course of a year. Didactics & Journal Club: Fellows will participate in weekly didactics, QA and journal club sessions with the faculty and rotating residents/medical students. Generally time is divided in this weekly division meeting between two journal articles, review of some highlighted scans from the week and reviewing an ultrasound topic through a brief presentation, chalk talk or hands on session. Fellows will have the opportunity to prepare and present a number of US lectures throughout the year. Scholarly Work: Research is an integral part of a career in academic emergency medicine for many providers. At Brown we have a number of ongoing research projects in which fellows can participate. Fellows can either take the lead with an existing research project or initiate one on their own. QA: Our images are stored and reviewed in QPath. We currently review 100% of submitted exams. Exams with interesting findings or good teaching points are highlighted for review in the weekly meetings. For more information on our emergency ultrasound division click here.
