Residency Program Description

The University of Florida, Gainesville, Emergency Medicine Residency Program is a PGY 1-3 program. Our teaching faculty and staff are dedicated to providing the highest level of care to our patients and the highest quality of educational experience to our residents.

Resident education includes the following:

Residents in surgical skills lab practicing bagging technique on a cadaver.

Monthly Educational Modules:

During three years of training each resident will review the core Emergency Medicine topics twice. Each month residents will complete a module. Each of these co,mputer-based modules covers a topic, such as Orthopedic Injuries and consists of recorded lectures available for review 24/7, assigned reading from either Tintinalli or Rosens, skill stations, simulations cases, and assigned CORD exams.

This multi-pronged approach to education has been carefully crafted and gives residents the ability to utilize their own learning style. ?

Sometimes didactics are interactive.  Residents learn splinting techniques.
