Our curriculum is designed to provide residents with the experience and education needed to master the foundation of emergency medicine and to care for critically ill and injured patients. We prepare our residents to work in any environment. We strive to help our residents develop leaderships and teaching skills to become leaders in our field.

We evaluate the curriculum multiple times throughout the year and make changes as needed based on residents’ feedback to ensure we are meeting their educational needs and providing a variety of experiences and learning environments.
