Our Residency Program aims to prepare each resident for any chosen career path in Emergency Medicine. Our training mission embraces the core competencies of patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. Graduates of our training program are equipped with the essential knowledge base in all aspects of Emergency Medicine, including clinical practice, teaching, research, and administration of our specialty.
