What sets us apart?

Fellows are involved with both professional and volunteer EMS organizations, in addition to an air ambulance program and a critical care pediatric transport program.  Our fellows also have opportunities to work with Federal agencies including Urban Search and Rescue Teams, and have extensive training opportunities with local Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams. 

Our fellows cultivate their own research interests and give back to the medical community through effective teaching of evidence based Emergency Medicine to multi-level learners. Fellows maintain a strong sense of self-directed, autonomous learning.

Fellows will mature their clinical skills in the Emergency Department and practice procedures in the Sentara Center for Healthcare Simulation and Immersive Learning. Each fellow attends state and national meetings to present research and engage in cutting edge prehospital education and practice updates. The fellow will also work extensively at the regional level with Tidewater Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) for protocol development, quality improvement projects, provider teaching, and participation in multi jurisdictional oversight.
