Fellowship Training

Injury Prevention Fellowship

The Department of Emergency Medicine and the Injury Prevention Center jointly manage a fellowship in injury prevention. A total of 2 fellows are trained under a two-year curriculum with 1 fellow in each year. The program requires all entering fellows to complete an MPH during their 2-year fellowship (unless a similar higher level of academic training has been achieved) in an effort to broaden the trainee’s experience and enable the fellow to meaningfully accomplish research.

The overall goal of the fellowship is to produce an individual who is clinically proficient in the practice of injury prevention, competent in teaching injury prevention, capable in the performance of research, and familiar with administrative issues.

Fellows will accomplish these goals over 24 months of rotations, with some portion of their time spent in hospital emergency departments affiliated with Brown.

The Injury Prevention Center has an established record of grant funding from federal, state, and foundation sources.
