The Oregon Health & Science University Department of Emergency Medicine in Portland, Oregon is offering a two-year Fellowship in Education Research . This fellowship is ideal for emergency medicine residency graduates with a strong interest in academics. It provides post-graduate training in education methods, research skills, and residency program administration. The Education Research Fellow will have a faculty appointment as an Adjunct Clinical Instructor in Emergency Medicine.

Training consists of 3 components:

Clinical commitment : Fellows are expected to work 32 clinical hours per month as attendings in the OHSU & Doernbecher Childrens Hospital Emergency Department, a level I trauma center with an Observation Unit and Chest Pain Center

Didactic component : Fellows typically complete either the OHSU MPH program, or the OHSU Human Investigations Program, a 2-year certificate curriculum in research methods, with the opportunity to earn a Masters in Clinical Research (MCR). There is flexibility to accommodate similarly rigorous masters or certificate programs to meet the needs of the fellow.

Administration : The Education Research Fellow functions in the role of an assistant program director and is actively involved in resident and student teaching and clinical evaluation, curriculum planning, resident selection, and other aspects of residency program administration.
