Goals & Objectives

Our residency is structured to encourage a resident's mastery of the knowledge, clinical skills and attitudes essential for the effective practice of emergency medicine. Under the guidance and supervision of a nationally recognized attending staff, residents are provided the opportunity to develop their clinical maturity, judgment and technical ability. Residents experience an increasing degree of patient care responsibilities in a high volume, inner-city emergency department. In addition, the residency offers a unique opportunity to broaden individual interests through exposure to a variety of emergency medicine (EM) related activities, including field operations, international medicine, EM administration, EM ultrasound, pediatric EM, and various departmental research opportunities.
