International Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Interest in international emergency medicine work is substantial and growing among emergency physicians in the United States and other countries. This interest in and need for IEM has been fueled by population growth, rapid urbanization and economic growth of many developing countries. As a result, there has been an increase in the demand for emergency-medicine services abroad and more emergency physicianss working in international relief and development.

As a leader in emergency-medicine education and training, Christiana Care has launched the International Emergency Medicine Fellowship in response to the growing interest of EM physicians in this area.

International emergency medicine fellowship training for residency graduates provides opportunities for gaining knowledge and skills valuable to emergency physicians interested in pursuing careers in international health. Fellowship is an ideal approach to training in IEM, because it allows for the combination of education, clinical practice and hands-on experience needed to work in developing countries and health systems. Adequate fellowship training requires significant time to travel, obtain advanced education in public health, conduct research and continue to work and develop clinically in the home ED.

The Christiana Care IEM fellowship involves working in Christiana Care's home emergency departments as an attending physician, both clinically and in the role of academic faculty teaching our highly regarded EM, EM/IM and EM/FM residents, as well as working abroad on international projects including research, clinical, policy and teaching. There is also the option of obtaining a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from a partner university.
