Resident Fellowship in
Medical Education Leadership
We are excited to offer this one year fellowship to three rising senior residents each year. Our mission is to prepare tomorrows medical education leaders through the mentorship, friendship and support of the leaders of today. This fellowship will include a registration reimbursement for the 2024 CORD academic assembly to be held in New Orleans, LA.
"The ALL NYC EM Fellowship was an excellent experience. It provided me with unique mentorship, expanded my network of collaborators and scholars in academic medicine and gave me tools to become a better educator."
- Dr. Filipe Teran, Mount Sinai Hospital
ALL NYC EM provides two citywide conferences per year. Additionally, we offer two “Medical Student Bootcamps” and an EM chief resident retreat. Fellows in this program will gain experience in the content development, logistics, and finances required to put together these events. Attendance and participation will be expected, and each fellow will have the opportunity to give a lecture at one of the citywide ALL NYC EM conferences.
Mentorship and networking will be an invaluable part of the fellowship. In addition to monthly virtual meetings with the fellowship directors, fellows will attend meetings with many of the regions residency leaders throughout the year, will facilitate collaboration amongst the chief residents of ALL NYC EM programs, and will have the opportunity to give an invited lecture to Wednesday morning conference at an ALL NYC EM participating program. Fellows will gain experience that will help prepare them for an exciting academic career. We are seeking energetic and bright residents to join our team.
The first meeting will be at the CORD Academic Assembly in New Orleans between March 25-28, 2024.

"The ALL NYC EM fellowship introduced me to the leaders of EM in New York, giving me access to experiences and mentorship well outside my own residency. Through these faculty I learned about developing a niche, finding the right job, managing an early academic career and more. And that's just the mentorship outside the direct skill set gained from participating in the development of a conference. The fellowship was truly an invaluable experience that directly influenced my path toward medical education."
- Dr. Jennifer Beck-Esmay, NYU-Bellevue
