Emergency Medicine – First- and Second-year residents spend 4 weeks apiece in the Emergency Room of Providence St. Joseph Hospital in two-week blocks. As the only level 3 trauma center in our region the emergency room is busy. Training is supervised by Board Certified ER physicians. By the end of their training, residents are expected to be prepared to care for the wide range of patients typically seen in ERs. Residents who have a special interest in emergency room medicine may choose this as their track elective area and receive an extra 14 weeks working in the ER in their last two years of residency training.
