Geriatric EM Fellowship approved by SAEM

The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Fellowship Approval Committee has reviewed and approved SREMI's application for a formal Geriatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship program. Under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Don Melady, we will welcome our first fellow, Dr. Audrey-Anne Turcotte-Brousseau starting in July 2016. The initial approval cycle is from July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2019.

We believe this is a big step forward for both the field of emergency medicine and geriatrics and is the first fellowship of its kind in Canada! We now join Cornell, Hopkins, University of North Carolina, and University of California at Davis as the only providers of a GEM Fellowship in North America.  Way to go Don!
