Emergency Disaster and Global Health Program
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas is seeking fellowship candidates for its Emergency and Disaster Global Health Fellowship. This two-year fellowship is an exciting multidisciplinary experience offered by the Department of Emergency Medicine and the Division of Emergency and Disaster Global Health at UT Southwestern. Candidates ideally are emergency medicine residency trained BC/BE physicians who have a passion for learning in multi-cultural diverse settings, enjoy fieldwork including a willingness to travel internationally and demonstrate a commitment to clinical excellence and patient safety in a variety of practice settings and locations.
FELLOWSHIP YEARS:
Year-one fellows will experience a curriculum providing the building blocks for a career interest in emergency and disaster global health. The program emphasizes key components of disaster medicine, international emergency medicine, public health preparedness, humanitarian aid, emergency management, environmental/climate and sociopolitical components impacting global health. A team of experienced faculty will mentor fieldwork, learning opportunities, research interests, clinical practice applications, and teaching skills, as well as jointly develop a tailored year-two experience with each fellow.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Fieldwork opportunities may occur in a wide variety of cultural and geographic settings pending the fellow’s particular area of interest. The program has multiple global partners including Japan, Thailand, China, Korea, India, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, New Zealand; as well as, U.S. based partners from federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations and foundations to include domestic applications of multicultural global health interests. Additionally, our international visiting professorship program routinely hosts experienced physicians who are national experts in their home countries. This 10+ year old program will be an enjoyable encounter for EDGH fellows as these visiting professors typically spend between 3 months to 2 years with us.
