NRMP Code:1047705C0

Status:Initial Accreditation

Overview

ARMC Emergency Medicine Residency Program and ARMC Internal Medicine Residency Program (both ACGME accredited residency programs) have joined forces to create an EM/IM Combined training program that was recently approved by both the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). It will be a 5-year-long program that will allow residents who complete it to become eligible for both ABEM and ABIM specialty boards upon successful completion of this combined program.

For the upcoming academic year, we plan to match 2 PGY-1’s to enter this combined program. The program will utilize the NRMP matching service for the upcoming academic year and we will be using ResidencyCAS for the 2026-2027 application cycle.For more information, please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected].

More info regarding the EM portion of training can be found by accessing its website: www.armcem.org
More info regarding the IM portion of training can be found by accessing its website: www.armcmedicine.com

The curriculum is designed so that each resident would complete 2.5 years of EM training and 2.5 years of IM training in total.

Please see below for more information regarding the 5-year curriculum.

At ARMC, the combination of a hands-on approach, strong didactic curriculum, research, and committed faculty make for a well-rounded resident training program. Learning is obtained on a case-by-case basis with bedside teaching viewed as a crucial instrument for education. There are scheduled weekly didactics, which include morbidity and mortality conference, resident lecture series, the Academic Life in Emergency Medicine’s Approved Instructional Resource modules and trauma grand rounds with the surgery department. Attending physicians give procedure workshops, as well as oral and written board review. Additionally, outside guest speakers periodically provide lectures on various topics.

The curriculum is set up as a PGY 1-5 program. During EM rotations, the EM/IM Resident will do 10 or 12 hour shifts. Most shifts are 7-7. When off service, residents adhere to the schedule for that service. We are pending ACGME approval for a medical critical care track for board certification. This would create a PGY 1-6 program that would qualify the resident to sit for critical care board.

The ARMC ED is divided into sections called “pods,” each of which have between eight and eleven beds. The more senior residents are given autonomy to run each pod with direct supervision from an attending physician. The more junior residents are paired up with a senior resident or attending. Residents have ample opportunity to do student teaching and mentoring during shifts.
