The Emergency Department at Maimonides Health offers a two-year, non-ACGME accredited administrative fellowship with an emphasis on ED operations and patient safety.

Maimonides Health is a quaternary care system based in central Brooklyn. The main campus is the largest hospital in the largest borough of the largest city in the country, and serves a population that is remarkably diverse in ethnicity, language, access to care, and disease spectrum. The ED is piloted by ~60 EM board-certified faculty across divisions of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Ultrasound, Simulation, EMS, Education, Clinical Informatics, Toxicology and Research, and staffed by 54 residents in the 3-year EM training program and 14 fellows.

In addition to the ~120,000 annual ED visits seen at Maimo Main, the department extends to fully staff emergency services at Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital, a century-old community facility serving southern Brooklyn, as well as a new stand-alone ED at the site of another historic facility, Victory Memorial, at the southern edge of the borough. The fellowship therefore offers a broad range of opportunities and resources to inform and challenge fellows to excellence across the spectrum of administrative skills.

The fellow will hone their clinical skills by serving as an attending at all 3 sites, in a wide range of clinical roles at the academic center that include resuscitation, pediatrics, fast track, observation unit, and triage/lead physician. Half of these shifts will involve the supervision of EM and off-service residents, and half as attending primary. Clinical responsibilities will include shifts at both the community and stand-alone ED sites. The contracted responsibility is 18 clinical hours per week, with the opportunity to moonlight at any of the three sites.

The primary goal of the fellowship is to prepare fellows to lead an emergency department; the curriculum is therefore focused on core operational and management skills. Additionally, fellows will tailor their training in education, research, patient safety, policy and advocacy. The fellowship includes programming across these domains both within Maimonides and in partnership with external organizations, and includes the funded opportunity to pursue an advanced degree such as an MBA, through partner institutions.
