Curriculum

Fellows who satisfactorily complete all requirements will walk out of this program as a diploma-carrying graduate of a Society for Academic Emergency Medicine-approved fellowship in education scholarship with a substantial portfolio. However, there are a number of things that make our program particularly stand out:

Rotation-based curriculum

Each month of the fellowship comprises one of various ‘rotations’ during which the fellow will more intensely focus their learning and work on a particular focus. These are in addition to longitudinal components throughout the year such as clinical work, master’s courses and national conferences or other specialized training experiences.

Customizable to your desired academic trajectory

We offer tracks that allow for specific niche development in areas of graduate medical education, undergraduate medical education, simulation and interprofessional education, and educational innovation through design thinking.

Emphasis on innovation and digital competency as it relates to education

We believe in the idea that every learner at every level should be taught and empowered to be a creative force in their practice, able ask "why not?" and move innovation as opposed to simply functioning as a cog in the wheel. This requires an understanding of learner needs, the ability to brainstorm collaboratively, prototyping early to inform future development, and focused evaluation of one’s work — all key elements of the design process (empathize-define-ideate-prototype-test) and Kern model of curricular development.

From the master’s curricula to e-learning to visualization and high-fidelity simulation, you will become savvy in the responsible use, application, development and distribution of a wide variety of engaging educational content.

Unprecedented access to expertise and technology across specialties and disciplines

While you will be housed within emergency medicine, you will benefit from teaching alongside health care providers and educators of a variety of specialties; expert technicians in simulation, visualization and e-learning; education researchers; and undergraduate faculty and learners.
