The Basics: The broad base of training includes the Parkland Memorial Hospital and Children’s Medical Center Dallas emergency departments that, as an integrated system, triage more than 240,000 adults and children annually. The two EDs are physically connected. Acuity: About one of every four patients treated in the Parkland ED is admitted. Similarly, the acuity of patient care in the Children’s ED is very high. EM residents perform resuscitations every shift. Pediatric EM: Ten Pediatric EM board-certified faculty as well as many of the adult EM faculty supervise all EM resident patient care in one of the busiest children’s EDs in the country. Residents have an unusually strong opportunity to perform resuscitations, procedures, procedural sedations, etc. Medical Toxicology: Ten board-certified or board-prepared Medical Toxicology faculty supervise the busy Medical Toxicology Service, including the very popular Medical Toxicology rotation for Emergency Medicine residents. EMS/Disaster Medicine: Nine EM faculty have special interest in this exciting area of emergency medicine and provide lectures, training, etc. Opportunities in ground and air transport are available. Residents can teach in the nationally accredited EMS education programs. Residents also participate in disaster response efforts locally. During Hurricane Katrina, residents helped treat the more than 8,000 patients seen in the EM-supervised medical unit at the Dallas Convention Center. The Division has more than $1 million in grants to provide training in disaster education through the National Disaster Life Support Program. Grants/Research: Emergency Medicine faculty are principal investigators on nearly $17 million in grants, including two NIH centers. One focuses on resuscitation research and the other on burn research. Fellowships: There are fellowship opportunities in Medical Toxicology, Emergency Medical Services, Government Emergency Medical Services and Security, Practice Management and Health Care Policy, Ultrasound, Global Health/International EM, and Pediatric Emergency Medicine. Event Medicine: There are multiple opportunities for residents to participate in event medicine, including providing emergency medicine support alongside EM faculty for the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, and Stars. Residents also can do event medicine for concert venues and the Texas Motor Speedway. The Speedway has events with more than 100,000 in attendance. Electives: There are multiple opportunities for electives, including ENT where residents perform many scopes, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, where they practice regional blocks, etc. Residents also may choose to do an all expense-paid away rotation in international medicine in New Zealand in the EM3 year.

What’s unique about UTSW EM?
“The residents continually find new and enjoyable ways to learn about emergency medicine and extend the depth of our knowledge.” 🏥

What do you enjoy most about your leadership role?
“Interviewing and recruiting new residents that are true novices on day 1 of their R1 year. Many start with difficulty and and struggle with documenting a thorough H&P. We get to watch and teach them as they progress to expert level emergency physicians in 3 years. ” ☺️🌱

What are some of your passions or interests outside of work?
“My wife and I love working with my 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters, watching them learn and develop. My most relaxing work away from UTSW is on my tree farm in south Mississippi. I get inspiration and a weekly mental workout from my cello tutor - he performs internationally and is a fantastic teacher.” 🎻👧

Anything else you want to add?
“Working with a few of our residents in Guatemala is deeply gratifying as they get to experience medicine in a resource limited setting. Their teaching skills are put to good use since the local physicians are hungry for any POCUS skills. I also serve as the faculty sponsor for the Southwestern Christian Fellowship. The residents I meet there are impressive and have deep faith - and some have a very solid connection to the Almighty.” ⛪️🇬🇹
