Our program is 12 months and will consist of supervised direct adult and pediatric patient care in the emergency department, as well as opportunities to work with other specialties. The program will offer a weekly lecture series in conjunction with the EM Physician Residency as well as various educational opportunities including ultrasound training, procedural simulation workshops, and attendance to the National SEMPA Conference.
