Residency Curriculum

Residency Curriculum

Residency is a total of 3 years. We offer a well rounded curriculum that emphasizes the fundamentals of emergency medicine while preparing residents for the future changes in the specialty.

Some of the highlights are:

  • Trauma Surgery and Surgical ICU at New Jersey’s Premier Level One Trauma Center. We serve as a State and National Tertiary Care Center for Trauma serving a large population here in the Northeast.
  • Pediatric-Only Emergency Department. Bristol Meyer’s Squibb Children’s Hospital is a Pediatric Tertiary Care Center with dedicated PICU Emergency Transport Services.
  • Emergency Procedures and Emergency Ultrasound blocks in Intern Year to help provide core competency in hands-on Emergency Medicine early in Residency
