Educational Curriculum
EM-1
The first year is dedicated to teaching our residents the core and foundation of emergency medicine. The focus for each resident is to enhance their fund of knowledge, refine and develop procedural skills, and learn effective management techniques. This is accomplished through an orientation month, cadaver lab, simulation, lectures and workshops.
EM-2
We are dedicated to our residents’ education, learning and individual progress as they progress towards becoming successful practicing emergency physicians. The second year is focused on critical management, emergency department flow, and continue to focus on enhancing management of multiple patients.
EM-3
The third year focus is on the big picture as a supervisor. Residents gain the role of a pre-attending learning to mange multiple critical ill patients, supervising junior residents, throughput, and teaching medical students.
Our didactics follow the core curriculum from the Model of Emergency Medicine.
