EMPSF/SAEM Fellowship

EMPSF/SAEM Patient Safety Research Fellowship Award

The Emergency Medicine Patient Safety Foundation (EMPSF) and the Society for Academic Medicine (SAEM) jointly fund a $75,000 award over a 12-month period to enhance the development of an emergency medicine patient safety researcher. The deadline to apply for the 2011 fellowship is August 1, 2010. Additionally, EMPSF provides funds for the recipient to participate in the American Hospital Association-National Patient Safety Foundation (AHA-NPSF) Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship – www.ahafellowships.org.

Successful applications will describe a significant, relevant, and feasible research project in the area of patient safety, as well as a mentored training program designed to provide the applicant with a foundation for becoming an emergency medicine patient safety research leader. The fellowship award is presented each year at the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine annual meeting.

If you are interested in learning more about the EMPSF/SAEM Fellowship Award or in submitting an application for the 2011 cycle, please contact Dianne Vass-Watson, Executive Director, EMPSF, at dvass@empsf.org. More information and the application is also available on the SAEM web site at www.saem.org.
