Q: What does your curriculum look like?

A: Our curriculum is comprehensive to make you an exceptional educator and a master clinician.

Q: How can I find my niche at NYPEM?

A:  We are committed to you finding your passion within Emergency Medicine – be it sports medicine, medical journalism, toxicology, global medicine, ultrasound, public health, education, research, etc. To that end, we have developed 17 distinct Academic Practice Tracks, each mentored by expert faculty, each with a longitudinal curriculum across four years. (For a sample APT track, see our EMS curriculum.)   And to support your interests, you are given three months of elective time during your last two years of residency.  You have the freedom to create and plan your elective time any way you like, so there is plenty of opportunity to develop into the Emergency physician you want to be.

Q: Where do your residents live?

A: Pretty much everywhere! With two home campuses, residents can choose hospital housing either on Manhattan’s Upper East Side or Washington Heights. But our residents also live throughout the city, taking advantage  of all that NYC has to offer.  To see a map of where we live, click here!
