Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship

The University of Colorado Department of Emergency Medicine Advanced Practice Fellowship (EMF) is an 18-month post-graduate program designed to prepare Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) for a career in emergency medicine. Emergency medicine is complex, multifaceted and intense. The overarching goal of this fellowship is to provide emergency medicine exposure and experience to APPs in a supportive teaching environment. Though the fellowship structure allows the fellow to rotate through varies subspecialties in order to enrich this 18-month experience, most of the year will be spent in the UCH emergency department. 

The fellow will spend time in the main emergency department, where high-acuity emergency medicine patients are cared for. The fellow will also rotate through SuperTrack, which is a fast-paced zone in which fellows will care for mid-acuity patients and get exposure to various procedures including suturing, fracture reduction, and incision and drainage. The Clinical Decision Unit will provide the opportunity for the fellow to provide observation medicine. The fellow will also have weekly didactic lectures, to combine real-time learning and classroom setting learning. 

There are many aspects to becoming a competent EM APP. It is the mission of this fellowship to provide a springboard for career growth and development, as well as the fundamental tools necessary to have a successful career as an EM APP. This fellowship requires an 18-month commitment to complete. Eligible candidates for the fellowship program must have completed a PA or NP education program.
