 EMS & Disaster Medicine Fellowship
The EMS & Disaster Medicine Fellowship at SUNY Upstate Medical University offers a wide range of clinical, research and administrative opportunities. Our fellowship includes both ground and air medical transport training with a variety of different agencies. Three of our faculty members have completed EMS Fellowship training and the CNY Regional Medical Director is also a member of the faculty. Our EMSTAT center houses a state of the art simulation center and our own paramedic training program. The Fellow is awarded a university appointment as Clinical Instructor of Emergency Medicine at the Dean's discretion and is provided full faculty benefits and incentives. Salary is competitive and additional benefits include access to a response car, tuition to educational courses, national and local meetings, books and equipment. The fellows are also invited to obtain their EMT-P if they so desire.
 The fellows are provided support staff to enable them to reach their administrative, clinical and research goals. The fellows can work with a full time research support staff and the department has an EMS & Disaster Medicine Research group that meets regularly. Our state of the art simulation center is a key part of our paramedic training program and Dick Cherry (one of the authors of Paramedic Care) is our technical director.
Unique elective opportunities exist for those who are interested. We offer an optional international component through our department's missions in several locations across the globe, including St. Lucia. Some of our special event / mass gathering sites include the New York State Fair, Syracuse University Carrier Dome and the K-Rockathon.
