About

The Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC)/New York-Presbyterian Hospital Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship (Columbia Global EMF) Program is interviewing for two fellowship positions this year. We train Emergency Physicians to become thought leaders in data-informed health systems strengthening, humanitarian action, and disaster response through research, service, and policy change.

Founded in 2006, we have a long history of providing diverse opportunities for Columbia Global EM Fellows, which has directly informed their career opportunities and professional choices. Our fellows have benefitted from a robust network of alumni leaders in global health in UN agencies, NGOs, government, and academia. Examples include the WHO, Global Health Cluster, IRC, MSF, IMC, CDC, sidHARTe, Ministries of Health and World Health Assembly, and Emergency Medicine programs worldwide.

We accept two Columbia Global EM Fellows each year.  The Columbia Global EMF is a two-year program for those with or without a prior MPH degree. The Columbia Global EM Fellows enroll in a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (CU MSPH) in the Heilbrunn Department of Population & Family Health. Here the fellows are prepared to assume leadership roles in developing and evaluating complex adaptive health systems strengthening and effective and impactful humanitarian action.  We accomplish this by increasing the fellows' (implementation) research, program planning, research methods, academic, administrative, and communication skills.
