Emergency Medicine Health Policy Fellowship

There is no greater place in the country to learn health policy than in the city where policy is made, regulations are set, and major research is accomplished. The MedStar Emergency Medicine Health Policy Fellowship is a unique program focused on three main pillars: policy education, policy experience, and clinical work. We offer both a one-year and two-year option for the fellowship.

Policy Education

The two-year fellowship offers a Master in Policy Management (MPM) from Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy. The McCourt School offers world-renowned graduate programs with distinguished faculty who have extensive experience in Washington policy making. Those who have already received graduate level training in public policy or public health (i.e. MPP, MPH) are eligible for the one-year option which will focus on policy experience and clinical work.
