Application Process

 

 

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Emergency Medicine Simulation Fellowship. This fellowship is designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in emergency medicine through advanced simulation training. We invite passionate and dedicated individuals to apply for this unique opportunity.

Please note, for clinical work, we have three possible clinical sites with affiliated EM residency programs:

  • Community Medical Center (CMC)
  • Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (NBI)
  • Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH)

Each fellow will work clinically at one of the above sites.
While simulation education will happen at and across all three sites, fellows only work clinically at one site and will not be expected to work clinical shifts outside of their “home” site. While applicant preference for clinical site will be taken into account, the ultimate decision for clinical placement will come down to discussions between simulation fellowship leadership and the respective department chairs.

 

All materials should be submitted on letterhead, if appropriate, and in PDF format.
Applications should be sent to
                    • Dr. Colleen Donovan at colleen.donovan@rutgers.edu
