Mission
The mission of the Global Emergency Medicine Pathway (GEMP) is to offer residents an in-depth experience to gain a better understanding of the nuances of global emergency medicine and to facilitate the development of leaders in this field through mentorship, academic opportunity, clinical experience, and research.
Goals
- Review and address common considerations, including ethical implications, when participating in global health work.
- Exposure to global emergency medicine environments.
- Expand knowledge base regarding the state of global health in EM.
- Develop projects in global EM.
- Prepare for the global health fellowship application process, if desired.
- Partnership with underserved and vulnerable communities locally and globally.
- Service to our global community.
Features
- Education: Residents will participate in a longitudinal track curriculum through quarterly track meetings, reading assignments, mini journal club, and other didactics. Special educational opportunities include global health grand rounds, global health journal club, and participation in international tele-education events.
- Paired Mentoring: Participants will be paired with a faculty member actively engaged in global Emergency Medicine projects. The goal of this relationship is to provide further insight and advice about a career in global EM, additional opportunities while in residency, and guidance for project development.
- Selective: Residents in GEMP have the opportunity to participate in up to two funded selective months focused on global health. These selectives may be completed locally or internationally at Emory GHEMS affiliate sites.
- Scholarship: Participants will be required to produce one scholarly project of publishable quality based on pathway work. This may come in the form of conference abstract submission, quality improvement project, peer-reviewed journal submission, or robust medical education project. Participants should attend at least one national meeting featuring global health.
- Fellowship and Community: GEMP will provide residents a core community of globally-minded individuals for experience sharing, community service, and fellowship.
