Program Director’s Welcome 

Welcome to the 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s Emergency Medicine Residency Program! Thank you for your interest in our program. At South, we are proud to offer a dynamic and rigorous training environment that prepares excellent emergency medicine physicians for all potential future careers. 

Our three-year, ACGME-accredited program provides robust clinical experiences in both high-acuity academic and a community-based setting. As the only Level I Trauma Center in the region, a nationally recognized burn center, and a Comprehensive Stroke Center, USA Health University Hospital offers unparalleled opportunities to manage critically ill and injured patients, while our affiliated sites broaden your exposure to a full spectrum of emergency medicine practice. 

Our faculty are passionate educators and clinicians who are deeply invested in your growth. They bring a wealth of experience and diverse backgrounds, and they work closely with our residents to ensure personalized guidance and meaningful learning. This allows the residents to see a broad range of practice patterns and to see how different providers interpret and incorporate the literature into their practice.  

We are privileged to treat our local community and function as a safety net hospital in addition to our role as a regional referral center. It is an honor and privilege to serve our patient population, many of whom are underserved and rely on our system for access to healthcare. 
We hope you will come see what our program has to offer, and we look forward to meeting you!
