NYU Langone’s Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue are pleased to sponsor the 6th Annual Emergency Medicine Summer 2023 Medical Student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fellowship. We are committed to increasing diversity within the field of emergency medicine, and our goal is to provide the motivated and interested preclinical medical student (rising second-year students, or MS2s) with an in-depth exposure to emergency medicine early on in medical school education.

We encourage all students (currently in their first year of medical school) who have demonstrated a commitment to the diverse practice of medicine and are interested in the field of emergency medicine to apply to our four-week summer fellowship. We offer five funded positions, which will provide fellows with NYU housing, travel to New York City (up to $500), and a stipend of $500. All interested individuals are welcome to apply. Students from underrepresented backgrounds, including but not limited to those who identify as Black or African American, Latinx, Native American, Native Pacific Islander, or Native Alaskan, are encouraged to apply.

Program Opportunities

Our fellowship curriculum includes didactic and clinical training designed to provide fellows with hands-on experience in many aspects of emergency medicine.

Didactic Training

Fellows will participate in procedure workshops, simulation sessions, social medicine initiatives, ultrasound workshops, resident conference, journal club, lectures given by our faculty and residents, toxicology rounds, pediatric emergency medicine rounds, teaching sessions with high school students, and a Wilderness Medicine outing.

Clinical Training

Each student is paired with an emergency medicine faculty preceptor and resident whom they shadow on shifts. Students are exposed to tremendous diversity in clinical pathology and patient populations by rotating through the different hospitals within our academic center, including our tertiary care center at NYU Langone Health, the country’s first public hospital at Bellevue (Level 1 Trauma Center), and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn (Level 1 Trauma Center).
