Overview
Our Emergency
Medicine residency program was established in 1981. The
program is a fully-accredited PGY-I through PGY-III
program; we have had continuous full accreditation by
the RRC since 1981. At our most recent RRC Survey
(January 2005), we received eight full years of
continuous full accreditation - the absolute maximum
allowable.
Curriculum
For the first month
(July), all PGY-I residents are in the Emergency
Department. A special Introductory Lecture series is
provided, as well as a Suture Lab, an ED Ultrasound
course and a Base Station course. The residents also
complete a Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
Provider course and an Advanced Trauma Life Support
(ATLS) Provider course during the month. An Advanced
Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Provider course is
required for those residents not already ACLS
Provider certified.
The PGY-I year includes
five months of Emergency Medicine and one month each
of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine,
Orthopedics, Trauma, Anesthesia, Ob/Gyn and
Cardiology.
The PGY-II year consists
of six months of Emergency Medicine, and one month
each of Trauma, Pediatric Emergency Medicine,
Pediatric Intensive Care, Medical Intensive Care,
Surgical Subspecialties and two weeks each of
Pediatric Anesthesia and ED Ultrasound.
The PGY-III year
consists of a more intense experience and additional
responsibility in the Emergency Department for eight
months. The remainder of the year consists of one
month rotations each in Pediatric Emergency
Medicine, Medical Intensive Care, Emergency Medical
Services/Emergency Department Administration and
four weeks of elective.
