Program Curriculum

The UNC EMS Fellowship will provide a solid education in all aspects of both ground and aeromedical systems, as well as medical direction at the state level and cutting edge prehospital information technology over a period of 12 months. The fellow will join the UNC faculty in medical direction for three very different EMS systems; an innovative EMS system in Orange County (urban/rural mix) which includes Chapel Hill, a much larger EMS system in Wake County (urban/suburban) which includes the city of Raleigh, and finally a rural EMS system in Caswell County. They will provide medical direction at large events in the area including UNC sporting events, campus events such as the Chapel Hill Halloween celebration, and big events in Raleigh such as the State Fair. Additionally, the fellow will participate in medical direction at the state level and be involved with PreMIS, the Prehospital Medical Information System, an evolving technology for web-based prehospital information management. The fellow will also be involved in tactical EMS concepts through involvement in the NC State Highway Patrol and attending a tactical EMS medical director’s course if interested. Fellows will also be introduced to Wilderness EMS concepts through a relationship with Dr. Seth Hawkins, medical director of Burke County. Finally, the fellow will also have the opportunity to interact with the Trauma Registry, a statewide database for traumatic injuries.
