Disaster Medicine Fellowship
 The Disaster Preparedness Fellowship at SUNY Downstate is one of the most unique post-graduate academic programs in the field of emergency preparedness, offering fundamental training in disaster management, opportunities in disaster research and clinical work, and training in the public health aspects of emergency preparedness. The fellowship also provides an opportunity to complete the SUNY Downstate Masters in Public Health program during the 2 year program.
Each fellow spends 16-20 hours per week at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Bureau of Communicable Disease as part of the Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Program (HEPP). The fellow works closely with the director and senior coordinator in developing their own research interests and applying them to various research projects. The fellow is also exposed to a range of training experiences in management of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive emergencies, as well as disease surveillance and response.
