Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Memorial Medical Center's

MMC focuses on the traditional model of care, working with primary care physicians who believe in a full-scope model of practice.

We are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive Emergency Fellowship and primary care residency education through rural training programs that aim to be rigorous and personally fulfilling.

MMC is a critical-access hospital and was recently designated as an Orthopaedic Center of Excellence by DNV.

About the Emergency Medicine Fellowship

Memorial Medical Center offers an Emergency Medicine Fellowship program for family physicians who desire additional training in rural/suburban emergency medicine. Fellowship graduates have the ability to become board-certified in emergency medicine by the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS), the organization that provides accreditation for the program. This fellowship training allows a family physician to sit for the ABPS Board Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM). Fellows who complete the fellowship are strongly encouraged to take the board exam.

Dr. Kevin Clarke has 30+ years of experience in emergency medicine and nearly 10 years of experience as a fellowship director.
