Explore, learn, lead — your EM journey starts here
At the Valley Health System Emergency Medicine Residency Program, we prepare residents to thrive in the dynamic team environment of a busy emergency department. Over three transformative years, you’ll gain hands-on experience and sharpen your ability to evaluate and manage a full spectrum of emergent conditions.
Where You’ll Train: Our residents rotate across four high-performing hospitals, each offering diverse pathology and patient presentations:
Together, these sites provide an integrated system of care and expose you to a broad range of specialties and real-world challenges.
Curriculum Highlights: Our didactic curriculum covers the core content for emergency medicine over a structured two-year cycle. Small group discussions, simulation sessions, and focused 30-minute interactive lectures bring learning to life and foster active engagement.
Additionally, every resident completes a scholarly work project and participates in quality and safety initiatives, ensuring your growth as both a clinician and a leader.
Rotations are scheduled for 4-week blocks with 12 months per academic year of training.
