Residency
To flourish in emergency medicine takes courage, confidence and a strong mindset.
Unlike any other field in medicine, emergency physicians are often forced to make life saving decision with limited information and time. This requires practice, repetition and willingness to take calculated risks.
Over the last two decades, University of Nebraska Medical Center has built an Emergency Medicine Residency forged in competence, compassion and service. We believe that leadership should foster internal motivation, inspire learning and support individualized training and education of residents. We are proud to have faculty with a wide breadth of experience and academic interests. We have a strong didactic program with individualized learning plans, coaching, as well as outstanding procedure and simulation training, promoting a foundation for lifelong learning.
Our residents are exposed to diverse and complex patient populations at numerous clinical sites. Through rigorous rotations in academic, community, pediatric and rural emergency departments our graduates leave this program prepared to excel in any work environment they may choose.
If your dream is to be an excellent emergency physician, our goal at UNMC is to prepare you to care for any patient, anywhere, anytime. Our faculty will guide you through a challenging and exhilarating training program where you will be trained and treated well. We are here to help you achieve your aspirations and prepare for a fantastic future in emergency medicine.
