We are proud to have an
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/Disaster Medicine post-graduate
GME approved fellowship program in New Jersey at UMDNJ-Robert Wood
Johnson Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
(RWJUH). This exciting program can be adjusted to fit each candidate’s
needs, while giving a complete experience into EMS and Disaster
Medicine. This program, while not a boarded specialty, does comply
with and meet all the curriculum guidelines from the Society for
Academic Medicine for a fellowship program.
This program is unique in that it includes participation in the New Jersey MD-1 program which is the 24 hour Physician Response Unit in New Jersey. This response unit is part of New Jersey EMS Task Force One which is the responsible agency in New Jersey for Mass Casualty Events. The physician vehicle is dispatched through the State Task force for all of New Jersey.
The EMS team at RWJUH includes more than two hundred and fifty top EMS personnel including Paramedics, EMTs, RNs, dispatchers. The system covers the Central New Jersey Region. The offices are located in an on-campus EMS building which has the first Medical Coordination Center for New Jersey and serves as the regional dispatch center (Med Central). All pre-hospital education and Specialty Care Transport operate out of this building.
Robert Levy MD, is our first participant and will be with us for
the 2006-2007 academic year.
