Geriatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship

The Geriatric Emergency Medicine (GEM) Fellowship is a first-of-its-kind fellowship that trains EM physicians to become experts in the care of older adults.

Overview

The GEM Fellowship is a unique one or two-year, non-ACGME-accredited fellowship designed for recent Emergency Medicine Residency graduates to develop an enhanced skill set and innovative strategies to optimally care for the increasingly large geriatric population who require emergency care.

Curriculum

The GEM Fellowship program provides (1) interdisciplinary training in the unique needs of the geriatric patient who requires emergency care, and (2) residency-trained Emergency Physicians with the fundamental skills required to build both a teaching and research career in GEM through collaboration with the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Weill Cornell Medical Center. The comprehensive clinical, research, and educational curriculum will enable the GEM Fellow to become a leader in this exciting new academic discipline. The two-year track allows the Fellow to concurrently obtain a Masters in Clinical Investigation and Health Services Research.

How to Apply

Qualified applicants will be invited to interview after receipt and review of a completed application. A current New York State Medical License is required for acceptance into the subspecialty program. Applications are reviewed beginning October 1 of the applicant's final year in EM residency, and the Fellowship may be offered by February 1, with anticipated start date of July 1.

Applications must include the following items:

  • Current CV
  • Three (3) letters of recommendation (one must be from your EM Program Director)
  • Personal statement (single page) discussing your interest in GEM
