Emergency Medicine Programs

Residency Training Program

The Emergency Medicine residency was founded in 1992. It is a three year (PGY1- PGY3) program with 10 residents per training year. The residents are supervised 24 hours per day by faculty board certified in Emergency Medicine with 46 hours per day of EM faculty coverage and an additional 16 hours per day of Pediatric faculty coverage by both Pediatric and Pediatric EM board certified physicians. The residency is fully accredited by the ACGME and Emergency Medicine RRC.

Residents rotate in the emergency department for six months during their first training year, for a total of ten months in the second year of training, and for eight months in the final year with progressive increases in responsibility. The Memorial Hermann Hospital emergency department sees approximately 52,000 patients per year and has high acuity with an approximate 30% admission rate from the Emergency Department. As such, our residents develop excellent resuscitation and critical care skills. The approximate mix of patient pathology is: 33% Trauma & Surgical; 32% Medical; 25% Pediatric; 8% Ob/Gyn & 1% Psychiatric.
