Alumni

Page Content

The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. Graduates are spread throughout the U.S. and internationally in both academic and community settings. Our training provides the background to do both successfully.

We began training our first resident in 2000. Since that time, we have actively pursued applicants who strive to contribute to emergency medicine beyond their clinical responsibilities.

Our graduates have gone on to be leaders in both academic and community emergency medicine. Several have gone on to pursue fellowships in emergency medicine, such as simulation, ultrasound, and international emergency medicine. Our graduates have also become leaders in the community, and many of them have served or are currently serving as chiefs of a community emergency department.
