Program Curriculum

Our program aims to provide the necessary education and training to prepare residents for the independent practice of Emergency Medicine. To this end, the curriculum has been prepared to expose residents to the wide range of clinical knowledge needed for successful practice. Clinical work is supplemented by didactic lectures and protected didactic time weekly. Additional educational experience is gained through the structured use of our on-campus Simulation center. Our program features extensive, hands-on access to procedural training both clinically and during didactics. The use of ultrasonography by ED clinicians has grown, and this program has dedicated extensive teaching time for this important imaging modality.

Our program offers 4 specialized tracks for qualified residents. Many of our previous residents who completed one of these distinguishing tracks have moved on to prominent fellowships.
