Residents are expected to undertake a self-directed scholarly activity.  It may involve a research project, critical appraisal, medical education or simulation project, with mentorship available from clinical and research faculty. Residents will present their projects at the end of the year.

EM Resident Teaching Responsibilities

  • Residents lead weekly interesting case rounds during academic half-days.
  • Residents will present two Grand Rounds topics during the academic year.
