EMS & Disaster Fellowship Rutgers Health / Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Program
Program Overview
Our ACGME approved EMS & Disaster Medicine Fellowship began in July 2012. This unique fellowship aligns with several state organizations and EMS systems to provide EMS leadership training that is truly outstanding. As part of a coordinated effort, the EMS fellow will support EMS operations for regional ALS units covering 4 million people and more than 240,000 911 requests, as well as both state and private helicopter systems.
