The Global EM Curriculum consists of a series of interactive lessons/activities, designed to both provide the fellow with a broader sense of the different facets of global emergency medicine, but also to instill knowledge of ethical best practices, pitfalls, and decolonialization. In addition to medicine outside of the U.S., the curriculum will also include components pertaining to indigenous and rural health care. A large focus will be toward understanding learning theory and improving teaching skills
