The Clinical Informatics Scholarly Track at USF Emergency Medicine prepares residents to work at the intersection of the three pillars of clinical informatics: clinical care, information technology, and healthcare systems. Over three years, residents will build a structured foundation in health IT, AI applications, and EHR-based project work within Tampa General Hospital's Epic environment, guided by a CI-boarded faculty mentor and aligned with AMIA core content standards. The curriculum culminates in an original scholarly project and capstone presentation, positioning residents for competitive CI fellowship applications. This track trains the next generation of emergency physicians to lead the data-driven transformation of healthcare delivery.

The Disaster Medicine Scholarly Track provides residents with a progressive, three-year curriculum grounded in the fundamentals of disaster medicine as defined by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the European Master of Science in Disaster Medicine. Residents develop competency in a defined set of disaster medicine fundamentals: incident management, mass casualty response planning, and MCI response exercise design and evaluation, with participation in real-world mass casualty incident exercises at the institutional and jurisdictional level. This curriculum is scoped to the depth and duration of an 18-hour scholarly track. The track is framework-agnostic and internationally informed, preparing graduates to function as disaster medicine-informed emergency physicians in any setting, domestic or international. Residents who complete this track will be well-positioned for SAEM-approved disaster medicine fellowship programs or the evolving ACGME disaster medicine fellowship.

The Emergency Medical Services Scholarly Track provides residents with advanced proficiency in prehospital operations, medical oversight, and disaster management through a longitudinal 36-month curriculum. Participants engage in specialized training covering air medical operations, tactical EMS, and regional medical advisory participation, along with mandatory field ride-alongs and regional disaster drills. This track is uniquely designed to cultivate the leadership skills and academic portfolio necessary for roles in EMS medical direction or a competitive EMS fellowship match.
