Description
• Fellows will complete a one-year program of rigorous didactic learning, self-study, and mentored, direct patient care at a number of moderate-to-high volume emergency departments in Alabama. • At periodic 4-hour didactic sessions, all current fellows and selected expert faculty will conduct a systematic survey of all of emergency medicine, based on the required text, Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine, foundational journal articles from the emergency medicine literature, case records, ECGs and imaging samples, and simulation exercises. • As part of the didactic session, a group meal will focus on the ethical, social, and financial aspects of emergency medical care. • Each fellow will complete 12 one-month clinical rotations at a variety of emergency department sites in Alabama. Each clinical rotation will consist of about 120 hours of mentored clinical work, emphasizing the acquisition of cognitive and technical skills in the delivery of emergency care, and characterized by progressive increases in responsibility throughout the year. • Each fellow will receive quarterly progress evaluations from the fellowship director, and will evaluate the faculty and program quarterly as well. • After successful completion of the fellowship program, the fellow will receive a certificate of accomplishment and be eligible to pursue certification in Emergency Medicine by the American Board of Physician Specialists (http://www.abpsus.org/).
