The emergency medicine residency curriculum is based on twelve, 4-week blocks during each post-graduate year.  The curriculum is designed to provide residents with the necessary skills to practice effectively in any Emergency Department. The PGY-1 year is designed to give incoming residents a broad knowledge base as well as to begin developing the core Emergency Medicine clinical skills. In the PGY-2 year, residents are expected to assume more leadership and patient care responsibility. This  is achieved through an increased number of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine months.  Residents are also encouraged to develop more advanced procedural skills and to learn to manage high acuity patients. PGY-3 residents will take an active role in managing the Emergency Department as well as supervising PGY-1 and 2 residents.  They also lead weekly oral case discussions and provide classroom instruction to rotating medical students.
