Didactic Curriculum

The didactic curriculum for the PA Residency program is designed to build a strong foundation in emergency medicine through structured education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and progressive scholarly development. Key elements include:

• EM Physician Residency Conference: Residents participate in the weekly six-hour Emergency Medicine Physician Residency Conference, which includes faculty-led lectures, small-group discussions, and case-based learning covering core EM content, emerging literature, and evidence-based updates in the specialty.
  • Faculty-led lectures
  • Small-group discussions
  • Case-based learning
• Monthly Curriculum Assignments: Each month, residents complete curated assignments that align with the PA Onboarding curriculum, including targeted reading selections, ROSH Review questions, and Full Code medical simulation cases to reinforce core concepts.
  • Targeted reading selections
  • ROSH Review questions
  • Full Code medical simulation cases
• PA Onboarding Conferences: Led by PA Residency leadership, these monthly case-conference sessions bring together PA residents and novice ED APPs to discuss real-world application in emergency care.
• Simulation Lab: Residents benefit from dedicated simulation lab sessions reserved exclusively for the PA cohort, providing hands-on practice in managing high-acuity cases, procedural skills, and team-based resuscitation in a controlled learning environment.
• Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Curriculum: The EBM curriculum includes a structured one-week self-study rotation module, quarterly journal clubs, and a formal EBM lecture delivered by each resident during their training.
  • Structured one-week self-study rotation module
  • Quarterly journal clubs
  • Formal EBM lecture
• Airway Workshops: Multiple airway labs are offered throughout the year, providing focused practice with airway equipment, intubation techniques, and difficult-airway strategies.
• Clinical Courses: During protected educational time, residents complete several nationally recognized courses, including:
  • Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)
  • Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS)
  • Fundamentals of Critical Care Support (FCCS)
• Scholarly Requirement: Residents expand on their EBM training in the final nine months of the program by preparing and delivering both an evidence-based medicine lecture and a formal case presentation to co-residents and faculty, and completing and submitting a case report for publication.
