Emergency Medical Services Fellowship
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Fellowship is an ACGME-accredited program and medical subspecialty that involves prehospital emergency patient care, including initial patient stabilization, treatment, and transport to hospitals in specially equipped ambulances or helicopters.
The purpose of EMS subspecialty certification is to:
- standardize physician training and qualifications for EMS practice
- improve patient safety
- enhance the quality of emergency medical care provided to patients in the prehospital environment
- further integrate prehospital patient treatment into the continuum of care
The Stanford Emergency Medical Services fellowship is a one-year fellowship, with the opportunity for a second year with a focus in Disaster.
By the end of the year, the fellow will have a competency in:
- clinical aspects in EMS
- medical oversight of EMS
- quality management and research
- special operations
After the first year, fellows are Board Eligible for the Emergency Medical Services subspecialty board exam.
In the optional second year, fellows receive more intensive training in Disaster Medicine, and have time to earn an advanced degree.
Our goal is to train future leaders by providing a broad knowledge base and allowing time for additional efforts in areas of interest. Fellows benefit from the opportunity to explore different facets of EMS through close contact with our many faculty, providers, and agencies.
