I haven't met any of the coordinators but met few of the enrolled candidates.

IFEM is International Fellowship in Emergency Medicine
EM residency of 2 years duration.

Available at 5 locations in India
Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences, Calicut
Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences, Trivandrum
Max Hospital, New Delhi
Rabindranath Tagore Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Kolkota
Mission Hospital, Durgapur, West Bengal

Curriculum is available on the net shows the 24 month schedule. Candidates have option of spending a 4 weeks at George Washington University, USA as observers.

Faculty from GWU come down to India once a month for a week for academics. Rest of the time the local faculty coordinates the teaching.

The first batch of residents who completed their 2 year training recieved their certification at MIMS this month.

I met a very energetic 2nd year resident Dr. Lokeshwar who has been writing a blog for the past couple of years on EM at MIMS.
