The Department of Emergency Medicine’s one-year Medical Simulation Fellowship program has been endorsed by the the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) as meeting national standards for education and training of emergency medicine fellows within the specialty area of simulation.
The SAEM’s Fellowship Approval Program promotes the standardization of education and training for emergency medicine fellowship programs in the U.S. The program recognizes the many valuable non-ACGME-approved postgraduate training opportunities for graduates of emergency medicine residency programs and seeks to advance exceptional specialty training opportunities in these areas.
Endorsement by the SAEM signals a fellowship program’s excellence in meeting national standards and its enduring career value to program participants.
The emergency medicine simulation fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics prepares fellows to become leaders in developing and administering simulation-based education. By combining hands-on training and theory, fellows gain expertise in a variety of debriefing strategies, simulation modalities, and immersive learning methods. In addition to acquiring strong clinical simulation and teaching skills, fellowship graduates also attain the professional skills necessary to run a department-based simulation program and analyze/contribute to simulation-based scholarship.
