Welcome from the Program Director
Greetings from the Emergency Medicine Residency leadership team at Boston Medical Center. We are privileged to be based out of the old Boston City Hospital where we serve as the region’s premier safety net, caring for the most vulnerable patients.We take great pride in providing exceptional, evidence-based care to all patients regardless of race, color, religion, gender expression, national origin, disability, financial status, or sexual orientation.
As a result of our commitment to care for all, BMC has emerged as a leader in population health. We recognize the impact of social determinants of health and utilize a multitude of progressive social services to meet the needs of our patients.
Our residents train at the busiest and longest running Level 1 Trauma Center in New England and leave with the strength and confidence to treat the most critically injured and medically challenging patients.Our learners are exposed early to complex cases and procedural training with the opportunity to advance at their own pace as they acquire the competencies expected upon graduation.
BMCs Boston Campus is where you will primarily train. We intentionally incorporate high-quality community EM experiences at three regional hospitals. This exposure fortifies our residents’ understanding of systems-based practice in diverse Emergency Department settings, ensuring that residents develop the decision-making skills to treat or transfer complex cases in environments that do not have the full complement of subspecialty resources.
We take pride in tailoring education to match one’s learning style. Our training program supplements the foundations of clinical EM training with a host of niche specialties residents can explore, including public and global health, medical education, EMS, pediatric emergency medicine, hospital administration and emergency ultrasound. We also have faculty dedicated to services surrounding addiction, equity, refugee and immigrant health. Our curriculum includes five months of elective time to explore areas of future specialization whether that is as a community clinician, academician, administrator, educator, or any combination thereof.
There is so much more to be said about our program! We encourage you to explore our website to learn what makes BMC special and consider applying to our program. If you have additional questions, please reach out.
