BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

Our two-year academic fellowship is set in Houston, one of the most diverse cities in the nation. The National School of Tropical Medicine is on-campus and offers our fellows extensive tropical medicine training as well as lecturing opportunities. Leaders in global and innovative healthcare across disciplines are also at BCM, providing ready partners for mentorship and academic projects both locally and abroad, including the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative, Baylor Global Initiatives, the TMC Innovation Institute and many others. 

Of note, we also offer a one-year fellowship for qualified candidates who already have obtained a graduate degree (MPH, MSc or equivalent). 

Please see our website for more detailed information.

The fellowship is two years and includes an MPH or equivalent degree, global fieldwork and research in addition to clinical work in the Emergency Department at BCM-affiliated hospitals. While baseline components make up the curriculum framework, it is designed to be flexible to best support the fellow’s interests and development in global emergency medicine. Specific curriculum components include: MPH or equivalent degree with a global health concentration. International disaster/humanitarian relief courses such as the Health Emergencies in Large Populations course and the Harvard Humanitarian Response Intensive Course. Research including at least one first-author manuscript and abstract presentation at a national or international conference, such as ACEP, SAEM or ICEM. Development of emergency medicine systems and/or educational curriculum at one of our global sites. 

We also offer a joint global emergency medicine and ultrasound fellowship, and also have a strong and diverse focus in health equity.
