Curriculum & Education

Overview

We systematically nurture a culture of support! Residents do not compete against each other at work. Sharing resources, coaching each other up and pooling experiences through sessions during conferences are all examples of how we are team-driven. Residents have a mentoring ‘family’ and individualized learning plans. They get pooled feedback from their faculty mentors regularly and are able to use this support network to grow as emergency physicians. We provide a fantastic experience in our program! We are a referral center, with three busy emergency rooms (ERs) to rotate through and an engaged and dedicated faculty to provide supervision. Never once have we had locums in our ERs. Never have we had competing services in our emergency rooms. Every procedure belongs to us. Our nursing team members work very closely with the physicians and we build great relationships between residents and nursing starting day one.
