Overview

Residents in the Unity Health Emergency Medicine Residency program receive a comprehensive training experience emphasizing hands-on engagement and high-acuity practice. This three-year ACGME-accredited program prepares residents for a robust career in emergency medicine across various clinical settings, including a level III trauma center with an annual patient census exceeding 40,000. The residency not only enhances clinical proficiency but also fosters critical thinking in a supportive educational environment.

Interns begin their journey with real responsibilities right from day one, managing critical cases and participating in significant procedures often reserved for more advanced training levels. The program is designed for rapid learning, ensuring that residents are well-prepared for either a tertiary academic setting or a rural emergency department upon completion.

Opportunities for advanced clinical exposure are abundant, including scene flight participation with the hospital’s air ambulance service, where residents learn pre-hospital trauma life support. This element of the curriculum promotes engagement with diverse patient populations and enhances off-site care skills.

The curriculum incorporates traditional emergency medicine rotations, complemented by exposure to various lectures, including a toxicology lecture series led by Arkansas' only board-certified toxicologist, participation in an annual cadaver lab, and a full simulation lab equipped with high-fidelity mannequins for ACLS training.
