The University of Wisconsin Department of Emergency Medicine offers several fellowships and postgraduate training programs designed to help physicians advance their careers. Our graduates have gone on to become community medical directors, residency leaders, professional team physicians, and disaster medicine directors — improving patient care, medical education, and health policy worldwide.
In addition to nationally accredited fellowships led by experienced faculty, we offer an advanced mentorship experience (“3+1” option) exclusively for UW emergency medicine residents who wish to spend an additional year pursuing flexible niche training.
Our fellows are well-prepared to secure positions in a wide range of clinical and academic settings after graduation. We take pride in helping them build successful, fulfilling careers — and we invite you to explore these pages to learn more about the opportunities available.

We thrive on collaboration across disciplines, specialties, health systems, and even countries. Our mission is carried out in a supportive, professional environment that values each individual while building a strong sense of community and purpose.
We do all this in a vibrant, picturesque city located in one of the best states in which to practice medicine.

Success in Academic Medicine
To help fellows and new faculty navigate the early stages of their careers and the transition from residency to attending, we host a bimonthly Success in Academics lecture series. Designed specifically for fellows and first-year faculty, the series provides practical insights into academic medicine.
Led by Department of Emergency Medicine faculty, sessions cover topics like time management, productivity, financial literacy, burnout, and resiliency — skills that support both professional growth and personal well-being.
More than quick tips, this series reflects our commitment to mentorship and investing in the long-term success of early-career physicians. Here’s what some past fellows have said about the experience:
“This lecture series was a big part of why I chose to come to UW for my fellowship training. I like that the department wants [fellows] to succeed, and this series highlights this commitment.”
“In all my training, not once have I received a lecture on time management, and I really appreciated this.”
“I was looking for a new framework, and this lecture series offered me a manageable solution.”
Living in Madison, Wisconsin

As the home of our state government and the flagship University of Wisconsin campus, it’s also a hub of education and the arts. A vibrant city with a population of just over 250,000, Madison is a mid-sized city that perfectly blends urban style with natural beauty and small-town ease.
