EM Global

We are building capacity in emergency medicine in areas where it is needed most. Our registered not for profit is a collaboration between Canadian, American and Tanzanian physicians dedicated to establishing the discipline of emergency medicine in Tanzania. We run short courses that are hands on and skills based to help providers of emergency care in Tanzania to build upon their skills. We also sponsor local Tanzanian physicians to obtain their residency in emergency medicine. Currently we are sponsoring Dr Kisanga to obtain an emergency medicine residency. In the entire country of Tanzania, a country of 59 million people, there are only 35-40 physicians who have residency training in emergency medicine.  When you invest in supporting a local doctor to obtain this training, you are investing in the mind, heart, and hands of someone who will make a huge impact and who will treat thousands of patients in his or her career. To build up emergency care where it is needed most, we need local champions who become the leaders of EM development where they live. Join us in making this happen.
