Three Year Emergency Medicine Program in India (MEM-GWU)

The Global Emergency Medicine Program at The George Washington University (GWU), through the Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine (RRIEM), is a pioneer in advancing emergency care education and capacity building worldwide. In India, GWU partners with local institutions to deliver a rigorous three-year residency-style training program in Emergency Medicine (GWU-MEM program), designed to train physicians to manage acute illness and injuries. Through a hybrid model of virtual and in-person clinical mentorship, didactics, simulation, and continuous evaluation, GWU faculty collaborate closely with host institutions and in-country EM leaders to ensure high-quality, context-relevant emergency care physician training. This program not only addresses the critical shortage of trained emergency physicians in India but also empowers a new generation of leaders who will shape the future of emergency care across the country.
