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 visit (January 2000), we
received five full years of continuous full accreditation - the 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 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
Provider certified.
The PGY-I year includes five months of
Emergency Medicine, two months of Internal Medicine, and one month each
of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 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,
Orthopedics, and Surgical Subspecialties.
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 Intensive Care and Emergency Medical
Services/Emergency Department Administration, six weeks of electives,
and two weeks of Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
