Physicians go through a lifelong process of perfecting their learned practices. They learn these practices at their medical colleges. It is the medical colleges which award them their credentials. The birth place of any medical expert’s expertise is the training institution hence if any new science has to be developed and taught the ideal sites are none other than medical colleges across India. The role of MCI recognized Medical Colleges and Academic Institutions is Crucial to develop the academic fraternity in Emergency Medicine which by itself is a new academic science to India.

With the recognition of Emergency Medicine as an independent specialty the doors have opened for medical colleges to pursue initiatives to create free standing academic departments of Emergency Medicine which can house post graduate residency training programs in Emergency Medicine.

To initiate departments and start post graduate residency programs there will be a need for trained faculty who can embrace Emergency Medicine (A New discipline to India) as their specialty. To be trainers these teaching faculties will need to take on the task of educating themselves about the body of knowledge for Emergency Medicine. MCI Recognized Faculty from Anesthesia, Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics –Gynecology Pulmonology, pediatrics, orthopedics are eligible to be teachers in Emergency Medicine and hence can take this Fellowship Course only if they are currently teaching faculty in any of the departments at MCI Recognized Medical Colleges in India.

 To facilitate the process of developing the science of emergency medicine in India and recognize the role of trainers to accomplish the academic goals “the Academic College of Emergency Teachers in India” (ACET-INDIA) was founded in 2010.

The inaugural 2010 Faculty Development Program helped Interested Faculty Grasp the Body of Knowledge of Emergency Medicine so that they made a Firm Start as Pioneers of a New Specialty when as they work toward Training their new Residents at their maiden emergency medicine academic residency programs at their MCI recognized medical colleges.

This 2011 Fellowship program is the Second Faculty Development Program which upon completion will enable members to gain membership as Founding Members of the College with the title (FACET-INDIA).
