Masters in Emergency Medicine International

Max Emergency Medicine Department is pleased to announce the launch of Master’s in Emergency Medicine, MEM (International). Emergency Medicine (EM) is a relatively new specialty within medicine that is expanding at a phenomenal pace throughout the globe. Within the international community, leaders in medicine, health economics, public health, and government have recognized the need to develop systems that respond to acute medical and surgical emergencies, and emergency medicine is the unique discipline and independent specialty with a unique body of knowledge to respond to these life-threatening events. Many countries have already recognized the specialty of EM and offer specific training programs to develop a cadre of physicians with the knowledge and skills to care for patients presenting with emergent medical problems. India has initiated a few training programs at a limited number of institutions, but an enormous critical need still exists to train many more Emergency Physicians for the nation’s large demand for these healthcare providers.

Max Healthcare (MAX) has recognized the need to train highly-skilled physicians to treat patients presenting with acute medical conditions. The Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine (RRIEM) at the George Washington University have partnered together with the medical faculty at MAX to launch a 3-year Post Graduate Program in Emergency Medicine ( MEM- International ). The two institutions will train up to 12 fellows per year, and they will prepare these fellows to practice in the complex and challenging arena of emergency medicine at the highest levels.

Through an on-going presence of faculty from RRIEM at MAX, the fellows will have continuous guidance and education in the specific topics and skills that constitute the field of emergency medicine. The faculty will provide lectures, seminars, simulations, and clinical teaching to the fellows. The quality of the education programs will be maintained through continuous assessments of the fellows, the faculty, and the overall fellowship program.

The Three Year Post Graduate Program in Emergency Medicine will place MAX at the forefront of emergency medicine in India, and it will prepare a new generation of leaders in medicine who will expand the field of Emergency Medicine throughout India.
The course will commence from july 1st 2010.Brochure and application will available in Max Healthcare Website ( www. maxhealthcare.com ) shortly
