We are one of the only emergency medicine departments in the nation to offer three distinct emergency medicine residency programs, each with a unique mission, vision and goal.
Residencies
South Campus has its own three-year EM residency program, a fast track, and an adjacent acute Behavioral Health / Psychiatric hospital.
In 1982, our residency program started with six residents per year. Currently we accept 15 residents per year and are nationally ranked among the top programs.
The Combined EM & Peds Residency training option was first described in 1988 when both boards agreed to accept training from the opposing specialty, thus allowing a reduction of 12 months in the training process.
