The Penn Global Emergency Medicine (PGEM) Fellowship seeks to prepare leaders in the field of Global Emergency Medicine (EM) through a two-year curriculum focused on developing academic, administrative, and clinical skills in the field of Global EM. The primary focus of the fellowship is Global EM education and development; however, fellows will receive training in all sub-fields of Global EM including, but not limited to, disaster/humanitarian response, international law and policy, ethics in GH, research, and refugee health/health of displaced populations. Fellows will be encouraged to participate in ongoing projects in countries partnered with Penn and Penn Faculty; however, fellows will also be encouraged to develop projects at other sites.
The objectives of the fellowship are to give Fellows:
- The ability to make sustainable improvements in global emergency medical care primarily through emergency care systems development, EM education, and research.
- A working knowledge of Global and Public Health, including research methods, by obtaining a graduate degree/advanced degree and by completing additional select specialized training programs in GEM.
- Administrative skills to develop and lead international projects and the ability to apply for funding.
- Comprehensive training in the field of Global EM, including, but not limited to, areas such as global health policy, ethics, and disaster response/humanitarian assistance.
Advancement and refinement of clinical skills within Penn Medicine and at international sites.
