Resuscitation and Reanimation Fellowship
Dr. Adam Szulewski
Program Director, Fellowship in Resuscitation and Reanimation
Thank you for your interest in the Resuscitation and Reanimation Fellowship offered by the Department of Emergency Medicine at Queen’s University.
The fellowship program is the first of its kind in North America. Established in 2008, it brings together doctors from different backgrounds to advance their understanding of resuscitation medicine, crisis leadership, research and education.
The program combines clinical experience in resuscitation medicine, significant exposure to learning and teaching with simulation, as well as regular academic sessions from resuscitation medicine experts. The program is flexible and can be tailored to each candidate’s interests.
Our fellows are a highly motivated group of individuals from a variety of medical backgrounds. Our graduates have been successful in integrating and formalizing resuscitation medicine into their careers by pursuing clinical, academic and administrative roles related to resuscitation medicine.
Please see our website for more information (http://resuscitationinstitute.org/fellowship/) and don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Adam Szulewski MD, FRCPC, MHPE, PhD

Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Overview
The Queen’s University Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship is designed to prepare future leaders in academic international emergency medicine by providing training in emergency disaster response, humanitarian aid, international research and emergency medical systems.
The two-year fellowship is tailored to a Fellow’s individual interests but is typically divided between a Masters of Public Health (MPH) degree, fieldwork, international emergency medicine training courses, research and clinical work as an attending physician in the emergency department.
Consideration will also be given to individuals completing a year of the fellowship within their FRCPC residency. In this stream, Fellows will have the option to work clinically as residents within the Queen's University post-graduate program.
Masters of Public Health Degree
For Fellows who do not already hold an MPH degree, the Fellowship will include an MPH at Queen’s (or elsewhere as pre-arranged with the Program Director). Coursework for the degree will be taken throughout the two-year fellowship and will occur concurrently with clinical shifts, other academic courses and field experience abroad. For Fellow’s already holding an MPH degree, one-year fellowships may be considered.
International Curriculum
The international emergency curriculum includes a choice of courses within North American and abroad on a range of topics including:
1) Humanitarian/disaster response,
2) International study design/methodologies, and
3) Emergency medicine system development
Fellows also participate in the bi-weekly global health research lab meetings and in other global health activities at Queen’s University including those offered by the Office of Global Health (schedule permitting).
International Field Work
Approximately four to five months will be spent working abroad. Fieldwork is arranged by the Fellow and supervised by the fellowship director. Fellows should take a leadership role during field placements with each experience designed to increase their knowledge base and opportunity to practice acquired skills.
Research
Fellows are required to complete at least one research project during their fellowship (suitable for publication in a peer reviewed journal). Fellows may develop their own project or take an active role in an ongoing project at Queen’s University. Fellows will be strongly encouraged to write a global health-related grant throughout the course of their training.
Clinical Medicine
Clinical Medicine: In order to solidify their clinical skills, Fellows work part-time clinically in the emergency department of kingston General Hospital and at the Urgent Care Centre of Hotel Dieu Hospital. There is an expectation for Fellows to work an average of eight clinical shifts per six-week scheduling block. For those at the Faculty level, additional shifts may be picked up as timing permits when the Fellow is in Kingston. These additional shifts are remunerated at the departmental rate for clinical adjuncts. While working clinically, Fellows at the Faculty level supervise emergency medicine and off-service residents as well as medical students.

Dr. Jodie Pritchard
Already having a Masters of Public Health degree, Dr. Jodie Pritchard will do a one-year fellowship starting in July 2019. Dr. Pritchard has worked in Lao, Libya, Cambodia, and Ghana and therefore joins the program with considerable global health experience. She also worked as a paramedic, primarily a critical care flight paramedic, prior to starting medical school and will be working senior resident shifts when she is in Kingston during her fellowship training. We look forward to welcoming Jodie in July!
Fellowship Alumni
Dr. Amanda Collier
Amanda Collier was the inaugural fellow in Global Emergency Medicine at Queen's University. She received her MD from Memorial University of Newfoundland, and completed her Emergency Medicine training at the University of Ottawa. She holds a Diploma in Tropical Medicine from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
