Didactics Overview
The conference schedule provides academic exposure to the Core Curriculum of Emergency Medicine. It systematically prepares residents for the certification examinations of the American Board of Emergency Medicine. During the residents' training, in-service training examinations and written and oral board preparation examinations are taken. Individuals are also evaluated on clinical and academic proficiency. Residents are required to complete a research project or prepare a paper for publication prior to graduation. Our residents are supported by research associates, undergraduate students who assist in patient enrollment for ongoing studies. Opportunities to teach paramedics, serve administratively, and follow academic pursuits are provided.
