Emergency Medicine Residency Program About the Program Message from the Program Director Curriculum FAQs How to Apply Our Residents Residency Program Events About the Program Home Education Department Programs Emergency Medicine: Residency Program Emergency Medicine: Residency Program > About The Program Comprehensive Training UCI Medical Center is a Level I Trauma Center, comprehensive stroke center, burn center and cardiac receiving center. As the comprehensive tertiary care center for Orange County’s 3 million people, our medical center provides residents with a wide range of clinical experiences. In addition to UCI Medical Center, our residents rotate at Children’s Health of Orange County, Miller Children’s Hospital, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and the VA Long Beach Healthcare System. During each shift, residents see a high volume of new, undifferentiated patients. We are proud of our one-on-one apprenticeship model. Our residents present every patient to an emergency medicine faculty member, never to a fellow resident. As such, our residents get the highest level of teaching for each patient case. Our weekly conference appeals to today’s learners with high-yield, interactive didactics given by experts in all aspects of emergency medicine. The Department of Emergency Medicine is an autonomous unit within the UCI School of Medicine. Our faculty members are actively involved with the hospital medical staff and in medical school affairs, as well as in professional associations, such as the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, American College of Emergency Physicians and American Academy of Emergency Medicine.
