Program highlights
- Procedural volume: the program states graduates log double to triple RRC minimums for intubations, resuscitations and sedations and have full access to pacers, OB deliveries and trauma; ask for current resident procedure logs.
- Unopposed program: ask how that plays out in practice for resident autonomy and procedure access on night and weekend shifts.
- Patient mix spans rural, industrial, farming-toxicology and urban cases plus STEMI management alongside cardiologists; cite interest in broad community/rural EM.
- Protected 5-hour Thursday didactics (core lectures, M&M, trauma rounds, joint IM conferences): ask how conference attendance is protected on shift days.
- Distinctive electives: 2-week Wilderness Medicine selective, sports medicine, EMS, ultrasound and advanced procedures blocks; ask which are most used.
- Application note: Step 2 scores are required for ranking, SLOR plus 3 letters expected; the program uses ERAS/Residency CAS and the NRMP Match.
