Undergraduate medical education (UGME)
Fellows on the medical student education track will support the day-to-day management of emergency medicine rotations for UW School of Medicine and Public Health students, including establishing grading and evaluations, developing rotation logistics, and preparing SLOEs. They will take an active role in advising EM-bound students, including on away rotation preparation and selection, residency application review and program selection, and rank list creation.
Fellows will contribute to simulation case development and gain experience in facilitation and debriefing. They may also serve as Assistant Course Directors for the Art and Science of Resuscitation, a popular simulation-based elective for UW SMPH medical students.
Throughout the year, fellows will work closely with their fellowship director to build comprehensive skills in medical student and resident education across the institution.
Residency medical education (ACGME)
Fellows pursuing the resident education track will teach multiple levels of learners – required M2/3 rotation, M4, PGY1-3 all rotating through the ED, and have weekly teaching sessions with the fellowship director on education topics.
Fellows will work closely with their respective fellowship director to develop skills across the breadth of medical student or resident education throughout our institution.
Fellows will lead didactic sessions and simulations, develop teaching and assessment materials, and mentor medical students and residents. They will have frequent opportunities for bedside teaching during clinical shifts and will contribute to resident didactic conferences and formal medical school instruction. Additionally, fellows will serve as faculty leaders for the Emergency Medicine Interest Group at the nationally recognized UW School of Medicine and Public Health.
Fellows will gain experience in curriculum design, implementation, evaluation, and revision at both the departmental and institutional levels. They are expected to serve on the department’s Medical Education Scholarship Committee.
Fellows will also engage in education-focused scholarship, including independent projects and contributions to ongoing departmental research. With guidance from nationally recognized faculty, they will develop skills in research methodology and academic writing in medical education.
Compensation & Benefits
Fellows receive a competitive salary along with comprehensive health and supplemental benefits. They are also eligible to receive significant financial support to attend educational conferences (e.g., CORD, SAEM) or to use towards a masters degree.
