This conference is designed for early career physicians and fellows who are interested in building a career that encompasses both emergency medicine and global health. It is also appropriate for later career providers who are interested in incorporating global health work for the first time. The day-and-a-half agenda is designed to provide participants with both the knowledge and skills to successfully navigate both domestic issues such as funding and negotiating a job, as well as international issues such as building partnerships and using ultrasound in resource-limited settings. Participants will also have ample time to meet and get to know others working in similar settings, opening up the possibilities for mutual learning and collaborations.
UCSF is the country’s only World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Emergency and Trauma Care, and participants will have an opportunity to learn about WHO programs and products, as well as the ground-breaking work in emergency care development being done at our institution.
