The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) has selected Cameron J. Gettel, M.D., M.H.S., as the 2023-2025 American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) Fellow. Dr. Gettel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine, Co-Director of the Yale Emergency Scholars (YES) Fellowship, and a Clinical Investigator at the Yale Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE). The overall purpose of the NAM ABEM Fellowship is to provide talented, early-career, health science scholars in Emergency Medicine the opportunity to participate in evidence-based health care studies that improve patient care outcomes in domestic and global health care systems. During his two-year fellowship, Dr. Gettel will collaborate with eminent researchers, policy experts, and clinicians from across the country, and will help facilitate initiatives convened by the National Academies to provide nonpartisan, evidence-based guidance to national, state, and local policymakers, academic leaders, health care administrators, and the public.
During residency at Brown University, Dr. Gettel completed elective rotations at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and has since pursued scholarly work at the intersection of emergency care, the growing geriatric population and health services research. Dr. Gettel has a deep-rooted interest in interacting closely with national and local policymakers.
"I am incredibly honored to have been selected for the NAM ABEM Fellowship, I've always enjoyed thinking on a larger scale towards influencing the greatest number of people, and I believe this opportunity will uniquely allow me to pursue important research questions impacting our nation's emergency patients and clinicians."
Cameron J. Gettel, M.D., M.H.S.
Dr. Gettel’s current research is focused on developing an academic health services and policy research portfolio that advances the understanding of emergency department care transitions in the growing geriatric population through the identification and development of patient- and caregiver-reported outcome measures and then to design, implement, and validate innovative care transition strategies and interventions to improve clinical outcomes.
