Training Tomorrow's Emergency Medicine Leaders

Welcome to the Brigham and Women's Hospital / Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency (HAEMR) web site.

Five teaching hospitals sponsor our program. Each institution is nationally renowned for post-graduate education and all are academic leaders in medicine. These hospitals include:

Each of these institutions is fully committed in support of our four-year residency program in clinical, academic, and administrative emergency medicine. At BWH/MGH HAEMR, junior residents are exposed to the entire spectrum of emergencies and develop advanced proficiency in wide-ranging clinical care, airway management, and other essential procedural skills. Senior residents are given considerable responsibility through supervising and teaching medical and surgical resuscitation, and learn to direct the management of a busy emergency department. The four-year format allows residents to develop superlative clinical abilities, augmented by advanced skills in research, administration, health care finances and academic leadership.
