Three-Year International Masters in Emergency Medicine (MEM) - George Washington University U.S.A.

 

Emergency medicine (EM) is a relatively new speciality within medicine that is expanding at a phenomenal pace throughout the globe, within the international community, leaders in medicine, health economics, public health, and government have recognized the need to develop a system that responds to acute medical and surgical emergency.  Emergency medicine is a unique discipline and independent specialty with a body of knowledge and skill to care for patients presenting with emergent medical problems.  In India there are a few training programs at a limited number of institutions,  but an enormous need still exists to train many more emergency physicians for the nation’s large demand for emergency healthcare providers!

 

Indian Institute of Emergency Medical Services (IIEMS) has recognized the need to train highly skilled physicians to treat patients presently with acute medical conditions.  The Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine (RRIEM) at the George Washington university (USA) and Indian institute of Emergency Medical services (IIEMS) have partnered together to collaborate with the medical faculty at Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) – Calicut and MAX Healthcare – New Delhi to launch a 3-year International Maters program in Emergency Medicine.  The program will train 10 doctors per year, and prepare them to practice in the complex and challenging arena of emergency medicine at the highest level.

 

Through an on-going presence of faculty from GWU-RRIEM and IIEMS at MIMS/ MAX, the doctors will have continuous guidance and education in the specific topics and skills that constitute the field of emergency medicine.  The faculty will provide lectures, seminars, simulations, and clinical teaching for the graduates.  The quality of the education programs will be maintained through continuous assessment of the Candidates, the faculty, and the overall Masters program.

 

The MEM will consist of a three-year curriculum that will be divided into 36-clinical modules and cover the breadth of emergency medicine.  GWU-RRIEM and IIEMS will provide faculty coverage and program oversight for the Masters program.  At the successful conclusion of the program, the graduating doctors will be able to practice independently within emergency department as a well-trained physicians, and they will receive a “Certificate of completion“ from the RRIEM at George Washington University.
