How much time in the residency is devoted to Emergency Medicine?
Each year the residents rotate through thirteen, four-week blocks. Of those, three are in the ED at Parkland and two are in the Children’s ED in the first year, nine in the second year, and eight in the third year. During the second and third year, 2-3 shifts per ED block are in the Children’s ED. The differences are comprised of “off-service” rotations that have been specifically selected for their contribution to a resident’s overall emergency medicine practice. Furthermore, with the weekly didactics and monthly residency conferences, you will always be learning Emergency Medicine.
