Graduate Fellowships in Emergency Medicine Help Solve Workforce Shortages

Jan 17, 2011

Tampa – Graduate fellowships in emergency medicine help solve critical workforce shortages in many over-crowded emergency departments. The American Academy of Emergency Physicians (AAEP) invites medical teaching institutions to learn how its Post-Primary Care Graduate Fellowship in Emergency Medicine program may help them alleviate this growing shortage.

“AAEP credentials emergency medicine fellowship programs that prepare primary care physicians with backgrounds in family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine and general surgery to become highly qualified in emergency medicine,” said AAEP Vice President David M. Lemonick, M.D., FAAEP.

These fellowships are intended to meet the rigorous national board certification standards of the American Board of Physician Specialties® (ABPS®), the official certifying body of the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc. (AAPS).

“Fellows work under the supervision of faculty members experienced in all aspects of emergency medicine,” said Loren Crown, M.D., FAAEP, program chair.

Upon completion of post-graduate training and practice experience, participating physicians are eligible to apply for Board Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM), one of 17 member boards of the American Board of Physician Specialties.

Institutional leaders interested in making their training program more attractive to prospective candidates can learn more about the AAEP Post-Primary Care Graduate Fellowship in Emergency Medicine by visiting  https://www.aapsus.org/graduate-fellowship to download the program brochure.

The American Academy of Emergency Physicians is an affiliate of the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc. with headquarters in Tampa, FL.  AAPS is a professional organization for qualified physicians who have either an allopathic (M.D.) or osteopathic (D.O.) degree.

Patient Care Is Our Priority

Medical organizations throughout North America understand that our rigorous certification standards prove that ABPS Diplomates are capable of delivering the best patient care possible.

When I decided to pursue a full time role as a physician executive it was important to me to obtain additional professional training, education and work experience. Board certification through the ABPS in Administrative Medicine is validation of my efforts and a demonstration of dedication to professional development. We need more physicians to become full time health care executives, knowing there is a board certification option in Administrative Medicine encourages physicians to take the leap from full time clinical practice to healthcare organizational leadership.

Richard Paula, MD
Administrative Medicine
The American Board of Physician Specialties has provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of internal medicine through board certification. As a hospitalist, board certification is an expected credential, and hospitals recognize the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) as one of the three standard credentialling bodies for Internal Medicine. Additionally, the ABPS has helped me develop leadership skills as a Board member and Committee Chairperson. ABPS has also helped me sharpen critical thinking skills as a test question developer and reviewer. The Allopathic (MD) and Osteopathic (DO) physicians in the ABPS are lifelong learners and frequently pursue multiple board certifications. I enjoy the camaraderie of my peers in ABPS.

Loren Jay Chassels, DO
Internal Medicine
When I think historically, advancement in medicine and patient safety and care has been driven by the diversity of people and scientific thought. That’s what I found at the ABPS and more. For over 60 years that is just who we are. I found a physician certifying body that provides a choice and voice to all physicians ensuring that patients are always placed first.
