 he MAMC and UW
Affiliated Residency in Emergency Medicine Residency is designed to prepare physicians for
the practice of emergency medicine. We strive to assist each individual resident in the
program to reach his or her maximum potential.
Training is structured to provide education in the essential skills and knowledge that
constitutes the foundations of emergency medicine. Through the three-year program,
residents are introduced to a progressively increasing degree of responsibility in
applying principles in a clinical setting.
Under the guidance and supervision of faculty, residents provide the care of patients and
management in many settings, including community hospitals and busy tertiary referral
emergency departments.
Exposure to other medical specialties is provided, and issues important to the resident
physician are addressed. Clinical judgment, technical skills, maturity in teaching and
sophistication in management are sought and developed. All this is accomplished while
ensuring each resident is treated with honesty, kindness, and guidance.
The Emergency Medicine resident is trained to:
Provide the initial recognition, stabilization, evaluation and care of
the acutely ill or injured patient.
Address the acute medical concerns of all patients presenting to the
emergency department.
Manage the pre-hospital care of the acutely ill or injured patient.
Participate in the emergency medical system.
Arrange for appropriate follow-up referral.
Engage in administration and teaching in emergency medicine.
Be familiar with and engage in research in emergency medicine.
Practice with a recognition of the humanistic, ethical, and legal
concerns relevant to emergency medicine. |
