Practical sessions round out the didactic curriculum. All medical staff members have academic appointments in the Division of Emergency Medicine at Northwestern University Medical School. All faculty members are board certified in emergency medicine, and half possess dual certification in internal medicine, pediatrics, or another specialty area. Although clinically oriented, the emergency medicine program is strongly committed to teaching residents the fundamentals of research. Residents must initiate and complete an original research project during the program.
Some residents use part of their elective time in the third and fourth years to complete projects.
The research director, who is a full-time faculty member, assists in organizing these activities. The department offers seven PGY I positions each year. All rights reserved.
