Fellowship in Emergency Medical Education
The Harvard-Affiliated Emergency Medicine Education Fellowship will provide participants with training in instructional design and education research methods complemented by supervised research experiences to develop a strong foundation to pursue leadership positions in the fields of educational research, graduate medical education policy, and residency administration. Fellows will be exposed to the medical education expertise at both Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) during their two years.
Fellowship in Emergency Critical Care
The changing landscape of health care has resulted in an increase in the delivery of critical care in the emergency department. Although the emergency department length of stay is brief compared with the total length of hospitalization, physiologic determinants of outcome may be established before an ICU admission. The BWH fellowship in critical care focuses on the acute care needs of the sickest patients seen in the emergency department.
Fellowship in Emergency Department Administration
The Partners Emergency Department Administration Fellowship, based at both BWH and MGH, prepares residency trained Emergency Medicine specialists to become competent, knowledgeable and effective managers and leaders in the complex task of providing effective and efficient care in Emergency Departments.
Fellowship in Emergency Ultrasound
MGH and BWH are known as national and international leaders in the field of emergency ultrasound and bedside point-of-care sonography. The BWH and MGH programs are regarded as among the country’s most mature fellowship programs in emergency ultrasound.
Fellowship in Health Policy Research and Translation
The goal of the Fellowship in Health Policy Research and Translation is to train leaders in emergency medicine who design, conduct, and translate innovative research and practice changes into health policy.
Fellowship in International Emergency Medicine and Global Health
Both the International Emergency Medicine Fellowship at BWH and the Global Health Fellowship at MGH prepares leaders in international health and international emergency systems. Fellows develop skills in humanitarian aid and disaster response, emergency systems development, health program administration and funding, cross-cultural collaboration, international public health, and human rights.
Fellowship in Medical Simulation
Completion of a fellowship in medical simulation certifies the graduate as an expert in the field of simulation-based medical education. Both the Department of Emergency Medicine simulation center at MGH and the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation at BWH have established themselves as clinical, academic, and research leaders in this field.

During this hybrid program, fellows will learn and practice all aspects of simulation-based education and research, with a primary role in the Human Factors and Cognitive Engineering Lab. Fellows will also complete a Master of Science in Health Professions Education at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, and will have an appointment as a postdoctoral research fellow at both Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
In addition to having an active role in all STRATUS educational activities, fellows will have the opportunity to work in ongoing research projects, participate in monthly research seminars and design, develop and execute their own research idea through a capstone project.
Mentorship
