The LAC+USC Medical Education Fellowship is a two-year program designed to prepare emergency

medicine (EM) residency-trained graduates for careers as superb clinical educators, scholars, and

leaders in EM-focused medical education

Professional Development

• Enrollment in the Master of Academic Medicine degree or certificate program through the Keck School of Medicine of USC

• Opportunity to participate in faculty development courses such as the CORD Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) Program, depending on individual interests

• Funded travel and registration fees for the CORD Academic Assembly and the annual USC Innovations in Medical Education (IME) conference

• Dedicated mentorship from senior faculty members with a diverse array of educational interests and academic appointments

“What are the advantages

of a two-year medical education fellowship?”

The two most valuable commodities in fellowship are protected time and mentorship. The additional protected time through a second year of fellowship allows you to further advance your professional development through the completion of a degree or certificate program, while also giving you the time necessary to develop a successful scholarly niche through the extended mentorship of dedicated faculty members in a variety of educational domains. You will grow as a junior clinician, educator, scholar, and leader, while simultaneously increasing your competitiveness in the eyes of future employers.
