Einstein's Emergency Unit, staffed by a full-time Department of Emergency Medicine, provides care for approximately 50,000 patients a year. The largest Emergency Medicine residency program in Pennsylvania is based here. They accept progressively greater responsibilities as their knowledge and abilities grow. Residents also assume an important role in educating students from Temple University School of Medicine. There is protected time for conferences to guarantee a high level of resident participation.
Residents complete the program with a thorough knowledge of surgical literature.
Einstein surgical residents have an outstanding success rate in passing the American Board of Surgery examinations over the last decade. A staff of 80 attending surgeons, most holding faculty appointments at Temple University School of Medicine, teaches in the surgical program. The hospital's Community Practice Center provides a venue for residents to care primarily for patients under the supervision of attending surgeons. There are sessions in general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, urology, plastic surgery, hand surgery and neurosurgery. Rotations through surgical specialties, such as plastic surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery take up the remainder of the year.
