The University of Tennessee Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program in Jackson, TN is an outstanding opportunity for family physicians who desire further training in emergency medicine and the ability to become board-certified in emergency medicine by ABPS (American Board of Physician Specialties), the official certifying body of AAPS (American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc.). The AAPS' American Academy of Emergency Physicians (AAEP) certifies the fellowship program.
Our hospital is the busiest ER in the state of Tennessee serving 18 counties with an annual ED volume of approximately 100,000 visits. There are 64 rooms in which fellows receive specific training in trauma care, management of acute cardiac patients (STEMI and others) as well as comprehensive management of stroke patients in a certified stroke center.
The fellowship enables the family physician to sit for the ABPS Board Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM).
8 positions are offered each academic year. The curriculum includes 14 (12 hour) shifts in the emergency room and 2 (6 hour) shifts working at the UT Family Medicine Residency Program each month seeing patients in our clinic as same day appointments or ER follow-up visits. Fellows are required to participate in monthly didactics that focus on improvement of clinical skills and to enhance their hands-on training with ER procedures and ultrasound.
The annual salary is $74,000 and additional benefits including professional liability, health insurance, and time off for CME.
