The UF Emergency Medicine Leadership’s Team’s vision for residency education is to deliver excellence in emergency medical training, while simultaneously preserving trainees’ heart.

The UF EM Residency team’s mission is to expose trainees to the broadest span of presentations, depth of acuity, and healthcare disparities that exist in this incredible specialty: Emergency Medicine. The residency team serves as a guide whose purpose is to train residents in the vanguard practice of EM, bring evidence based critical thinking and interventions to the bedside, and to do so with compassion.
