Residency in Emergency Medicine

Gold Divider 4Col

Curriculum

Our PGY1-PGY4 format allows us to provide our residents with not only a strong clinical training, but also additional skills and knowledge to serve as the foundation of a rich, multi-dimensional career. We commit curriculum time, the wealth of resources in our department, and strong mentorship to help residents develop areas of interest so that, as their careers evolve, they will have the option to balance clinical work with other rewarding activities.

Five faculty members are dedicated to residency leadership, but all of the faculty are actively involved in teaching, mentoring and resident career development in various capacities. The faculty consists of about 50 EM- boarded attendings. Seven are board-certified in pediatric emergency medicine, three are board-certified in toxicology and others are fellowship-trained in critical care, EMS, health care policy, informatics, research, neuroepidemiology, and ED Administration.
