The Program
The Emergency Medicine Program produces emergency physicians with the skills, medical judgment, clinical maturity and personal confidence to function effectively as practitioners, teachers and community leaders. The curriculum is designed to foster an interest in the continued study of medicine, and to prepare physicians to make significant and ongoing contributions to the specialty of emergency medicine. Affiliated with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the program is fully accredited, and provides the 21 emergency medicine residents a unique balance of direct supervision, didactics, and extensive hands-on training. There are 10 full-time faculty members, all of whom are board certified in Emergency Medicine. They are dedicated and enthusiastic and provide 32 hours per day of supervision in the Emergency Department.
