The Department of Emergency Medicine endorses the concept of formal research training to promote the development of career researchers to further the specialty of Emergency Medicine. The goal of our unaccredited two-year fellowship is to acquire the necessary skills to perform quality research as well as to develop the ability to teach others research methodology. Graduating Fellows should be able to utilize analytical skills to mentor the research efforts and presentations of their colleagues. Fellows apply their knowledge in representing the department’s research efforts in the broader national research context.

Our objective is to support faculty and resident research and promote excellence in research to further the field of Emergency Medicine.
