Global Emergency Medicine Student Leadership Program

EMRA's Medical Student Council and the ACEP International Section partnered to provide a year-long mentorship program through which ACEP International Ambassadors and other section members provide mentorship to EMRA's student members interested in emergency medicine and its global development as a specialty. The Global Emergency Medicine Leadership Program (GEMS LP) aims to introduce students to global health/global emergency medicine and the opportunities that come along with it. As part of the year-long program, mentees will participate in journal clubs and group academic projects that provide an overview of key global health concepts and their application within the field of global emergency medicine. Additionally, students will get to build a network of emergency medicine physician mentors who are conducting global health work worldwide. Through these relationships, the mentees can establish memorable connections based on regions, GEM subspecialty of interest (i.e. disaster response, medical education, ultrasound, others), and intended career path.

This Spring, we will be recruiting our eighth class of students who are passionate and excited to learn more about GEM. We invite you to explore the various GEMS LP resources linked through this page to learn more about GEMS LP, its requirements, and the application process. The application deadline for the 2025/26 program is July 11, 2025. For more information or questions, the GEMS LP leadership team can be reached at info.GEMSLP@gmail.com.
