Post Graduate Fellowship in Emergency Medicine (PGFEM)

Curriculum

The fellowship program will focus on a specific clinical module topic each month.  Each day the fellows will receive a clinical case presentation with a case-based education seminar that will last approximately one hour each morning, and each afternoon the residents will round on patients in the emergency department with faculty.  One day a week, the fellows will have a 5-hour education seminar that will focus on the month’s modular topic and will include didactic presentations, journal club article reviews, simulation exercises, and guest speakers from senior consultants.

In addition to the overall curriculum structure, each fellow will receive a weekly set of clinical and educational assignments and responsibilities.

Each module will begin with a pre-test to gauge the fellows’ academic knowledge on the clinical topics, and each module will end with a post-test to measure the fellows’ level of comprehension and mastery of the materials during the module session.  The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) and the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) have developed a “Model Curriculum for Emergency Medicine”, and this model curriculum will serve as a basis for the fellowship program’s modular topics.
