The University of Wisconsin Department of Emergency Medicine offers fellowships and postgraduate training programs that help physicians build focused expertise and advance their careers in academic and community practice.
Fellows train with experienced faculty at UW–Madison and UW Health while developing skills in clinical care, medical education, research, leadership, and specialty practice. Graduates have gone on to become medical directors, residency and fellowship leaders, professional team physicians, disaster medicine directors, and academic emergency medicine faculty.
In addition to nationally accredited fellowships, we offer a “3+1” advanced mentorship experience for UW emergency medicine residents who want to pursue an additional year of flexible niche training aligned with their career goals.

Success in Academics
Lecture Series for Fellows and Junior Faculty
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.”
