PGY2 Emergency Medicine Residency

This program is uniquely designed to develop skilled clinicians that practice independently and excel in clinical service, teaching, and research. Six core learning experiences, combined with six electives built around the resident’s prior experiences and multiple longitudinal experiences provide for a well-rounded learning experience. Residents also participate in providing 24-hour clinical pharmacy services through the in-house on-call program, a pharmacy practice experience, and are provided dedicated research time. Precepting and teaching students in advance pharmacy practice experiences and didactic settings is offered, as is a longitudinal teaching certificate program. Scholarly activities may focus on clinical, practice-based, or outcomes research. In addition to clinical and longitudinal activities the resident will take call for various clinical trials being carried out in the emergency department including ALIAS, POINT, SHINE and ProTECT.
