Overview
The Emory University Department of Emergency Medicine’s non-ACGME Global Emergency Medicine (GEM) fellowship is recruiting to start in July 2025!
This two-year fellowship includes:
- Clinical practice as an attending emergency medicine physician at one of the Department’s clinical sites
- MPH work in Global Health at the Rollins School of Public Health
- Global emergency care capacity building projects at one of the Department’s international collaborating sites
- A rotation/project at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)or other Atlanta-based global public health organization
Our vision is to build GEM capacity and preparedness through the training of the next generation of leaders in sustainable global emergency care partnership and systems development, education, and research.
Clinical Medicine
Fellows will have the opportunity work approximately eight shifts per month as a clinical instructor at Grady Memorial Hospital. Fellows are encouraged to participate in all faculty activities within the Emory Department of Emergency Medicine.
Graduate Education
Fellows will have the option to pursue a Master degree (MPH) in Global Health at the Rollins School of Public Health. Additional graduate degree opportunities may also be possible such as the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) on a case-by-case basis.

Grant-writing mentorship will be available through the Department and fellows will be encouraged to write and apply for grants during their fellowship.

Fellows will be encouraged to attend annual conferences to network and present on work, such as ACEP, SAEM, or region-specific international conferences. Additionally, fellows will be encouraged to attend additional courses specific to global health interests such as Health Emergencies in Large Populations course or the Humanitarian Response Intensive Course.
Fellows are expected to be active members of the Global Health in Emergency Medicine section, and expected to attend monthly meetings, and participate in the Global Emergency Medicine Pathway resident didactics, journal clubs, and ad hoc experiences.
