Residency
To flourish in emergency medicine it takes courage, confidence and a strong mindset.
Unlike any other field in medicine, emergency physicians are often forced to make life saving decision with often limited information and time. This requires practice, repetition and willingness to take calculated risks.
In 2004, our Residency Program Director Chad Branecki, MD, was part of the inaugural class of emergency medicine residents at UNMC. Over the last two decades, our department has built a residency forged in competence, compassion and service.
Our residents experience a diverse and complex patient population, dozens of hours in the tissue and simulation labs, and volumes of reading and question banks. We believe in leadership that fosters motivation, inspiration, building, training and individualized mentoring for each resident. Through rigorous rotations in academic, community, pediatric and rural emergency departments our graduates leave this program capable to excel in any work environment they may choose.
If your dream is to be an emergency physician and UNMC is the place you choose to chase that dream, our faculty will coach and mentor you through what can be an exhilarating, yet sometimes challenging, three years. We will all say: "Are you hungry for your dream? Are you willing to fight for that dream? And then we will help you chase your dreams." We believe you should dream big and believe in yourself.
