Physician Assistant Fellowship in Emergency Medicine

About the Program

Emergency Medicine is one of the most challenging and rewarding careers for physician assistants. EM is a highly desirable career choice but it is unfortunately very difficult to break into the field. Most employers require previous ED work experience and one doesn't gain that work experience until they get their first job. The purpose of the fellowship is to train qualified physician assistant candidates to be competent in the delivery of emergency medical care.

Curriculum

The PA Fellows will train alongside the Emergency Medicine Residents at SUNY Upstate Medical Center and our affiliated hospitals. Fellows will gain exposure to both the adult and pediatric emergency rooms in addition to our minor care treatment area. Rotations in critical care  medicine, toxicology, orthopedics, and ophthalmology will also be provided. Emphasis will be placed on  preparing the Fellow to sit for the NCCPA Specialty Examination in Emergency Medicine.
