- Hospital is described as having multiple research grants and a Research Director: ask about resident scholarly projects.
- PGY-2 electives can be used for international health, ultrasound, EMS or wilderness medicine, and faculty interests include ultrasound, EMS, trauma, simulation and international EM: align your interests with a faculty mentor.
