If taken separately, training in these areas would normally take six years to complete. Individuals successfully completing this program are eligible for certification by both the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Training is divided equally between the two specialties.
Residents will be assigned a mentor from Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine to facilitate integration and individual growth and development. Each year of the combined residency consists of 13 four-week blocks. During PGY I, you will develop basic skills in many medical disciplines, including general medicine, cardiology, infectious diseases, nephrology and the medical intensive care unit. In the Emergency Departments, interns are introduced to the stabilization and management of adult and pediatric emergency patients as well as non-emergent adult ambulatory care. PGY II involves more critical care and subspecialty experience, outpatient medicine and emergency medicine.
