The Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Virginia Commonwealth University (formerly the Medical College of Virginia) offers residents the opportunity to work and learn in an urban hospital setting surrounded by some of the brightest medical minds in the country. VCU is a Level 1 Trauma Center and provides care for around 100,000 patients each year, including 4,000 trauma victims, which allows our residents to develop excellent resuscitation and critical care skills. Our curriculum relies on educational experiences within the Emergency Department and the various intensive care units. Residents also rotate at a local community hospital and at our freestanding ED. The program provides focused training in specialty areas of emergency medicine including toxicology, ultrasound, emergency medical services, observation medicine and pediatric emergency medicine. The program’s solid foundation stems from our faculty and staff, who are always there to help our residents reach their full potential as emergency physicians. We seek to instill the highest professional standards in our residents so they may go on to provide top-quality care in hospitals around the country, as well as advance the specialty of emergency medicine through scholarly research.
