The goal of
our residency program is to train highly competent emergency
physicians interested in a career that combines clinical
practice with non-clinical emergency medicine activities,
i.e., EMS, teaching, administration, research, involvement
in local, state and/or national emergency medicine organizations,
or one of the subspecialty areas of emergency medicine. |

 |
Therefore,
the primary objective of our residency is to develop
highly competent emergency medicine specialists able
to practice in any emergency department environment.
In addition, we provide residents the opportunity to
develop skills in a variety of non-clinical emergency
medicine activities such as: EMS, Toxicology,
and Pediatric Emergency Medicine. The program balances
the educational needs of the residents with the medical
needs of the patients by having appropriate faculty
supervision in the department. Most times this
involves two faculty present in the department.

| The ED is divided only by acuity. All
patients in the ED are triaged into a resuscitation area,
acute area, or intermediate acute area. The ultimate
patient care responsibility is the staff physician's. Residents
have the opportunity to see all types of patients. They
are supervised by attending staff and have graduated
responsibility. To complement their ED training,
the residents also rotate through various other outpatient
and inpatient venues. The attending staff are an
integral part of the residency. All are involved
in the education of residents. The majority have
dedicated time for educational and investigative pursuits
that are associated with the program. |
