I would like to thank you for your interest in learning more about our residency program. As a brief introduction, our program has a pgy 1-4 format, and is designed to provide outstanding clinical and academic training in Emergency Medicine. We are affiliated with two terrific tertiary care hospitals, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, both of which have a long tradition in residency training in many disciplines. We also have the support of Harvard Medical School, and access to its many resources.

The mission of our program revolves around the development of outstanding clinicians, and the development of areas of academic interest. The clinical environment is one of high acuity, high patient volume, and a tremendous variety of illnesses. There is a progression of responsibility designed to focus on clinical development. From the standpoint of academic development, there are many resources available to our residents within our departments and throughout the institution. Our residents have 5 months of elective time during their training, beginning in the pg-2 year, designed to help pursue an area of interest. We also have a system of faculty advisors and mentors who help guide residents through this process of clinical and academic development.

I would encourage you to look through our website in order to learn more about our program. If there is any information that you do not find on the website, please feel free to call the residency office and we would be glad to help answer any questions. I would also encourage you to contact any of our residents. We are fortunate to have terrific group of residents, and I am sure they would be happy to answer any questions or give you more information.

Thanks again for your interest in our program,
