Emergency physicians with strong teaching skills are needed to help our Emergency Care Practitioners train subsequent class of trainees. Your role within GEC, as an emergency medicine physician specialist, will be one of educator and mentor. GEC physicians assist ECPs in clinical care, but do not usually provide clinical care themselves, in order to support the mission of the organization– sustainable emergency care training. You will also be responsible for helping ECPs modify lectures, practice lectures, do oral cases, and improve their bedside teaching skills and differential diagnosis/ medical decision making/ resource appropriate workups. It is a very rewarding experience even without working as the first line provider, as the ED is extraordinarily busy with trauma, acute and chronic illnesses that we don’t deal with at home (either at all or in the severity that they are found there), and infectious disease. And, you are supporting a cause that will only grow and improve by your involvement, instead of just being a medical tourist.

A stipend will be provided for those able to work with us for 6 consecutive months or longer, otherwise these are volunteer positions. We do work with senior emergency medicine residents (PGY3 or PGY4) as long as we can arrange supervision by a fully trained emergency physician.
