They work collaboratively with program administration and staff to assist in operational and clinical program development and implementation. This position affords research, leadership, and educational opportunities in clinical public health and social emergency medicine above and beyond the typical resident experience.
Resident Electives Currently, the following resident electives are available annually: Introduction to Social Emergency Medicine, Advanced Social Emergency Medicine, Medical Spanish, and Advocacy. Additional electives in Public Health Operations, Street Medicine, and Research are available upon request.
Although not housed exclusively within the Division of *Social Emergency Medicine*, the department offers a number of global health electives, including annual electives in Tanzania and Guatemala with periodic elective opportunities in Uganda.
Please see TamingtheSRU for complete description of these electives.
Research The EIP is intimately connected to public health agencies and community based organizations, and operates on a continuum from the community to the ED to outpatient/inpatient healthcare settings. The program is rife with opportunity for research projects for residents and students. Each year, EIP faculty typically mentor one medical student for a summer research project.
Other The Division of Social Emergency Medicine is rapidly growing. Many of the projects and current elective offerings exist because of the innovation of current and former residents. Furthermore, the EIP is a collaborative and inter-professional organization with representation from students in social work, pre-health professions, the Masters in Public Health program, and the College of Nursing. Due to the nature of Social Emergency Medicine, there are many additional and potential opportunities available for students, residents, and faculty.
