Our Program

The Department of Emergency Medicine is a full academic Department at the University.

Our well-established three-year program is fully accredited by the ACGME. We accepted our first class of eight residents in 1994. The program grew to 10 residents in 2001. With rapid growth in patient volume, we were approved for 12 residents in 2004.

During your residency at the University of Rochester, you will work closely with energetic full-time faculty members who are dedicated to helping you prepare for your future in the profession.

Our program offers a unique blend of excellence in teaching and rigorous academic standards, a well-balanced and complete curriculum, a wide range of hand-on experiences, and a supportive and friendly environment.

We look forward to meeting with you and having the opportunity to provide you with complete details on our quality training program. In the meantime, please take the opportunity to review the information on our web site. And feel free to contact us with any specific questions you may have.

"I feel like this proram has made me prepared to handle just about anything that walks through the ED doors. While our hospital system can be challenging, it has helped me learn how to deal with difficult collegues and systems issues, which will occur to some degree no matter what hospital I end up working in. I've always been happy with my decision to go into EM and I am even more appreciative of the positive culture we have. In our porgram I feel there is a very open environment to ask questions, discuss cases, and talk about how things that could have gone better when there was a bad outcome. This type of environment is so parmount to resident learning and I feel so fortunate to have gone through a program that offers this. I've had a lot of time to reflect on the past 3 years and I can't say enough good things about our program. Thank you."

"Work has been quite busy. It’s so funny, for years I’ve been counting down the days to “attendinghood”, and now after diving-in head first I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on residency. I don’t think I’ve previously truly understood and appreciated the learning opportunities you and the other core faculty have given us. It’s hard to do when you are working the residency hours. But not a day goes by now that I don’t think of all of you and been so grateful of the skills you have given me when I’m in a tough situation."
Elijah Benioni, MD, 2010

“Since graduating in June, 2008, I wanted to tell you how I'm doing -- not to brag and say that I am doing a great job, but to say "look at all of this crazy stuff you taught me how to do." I have seen some challenging cases, and I freak out a little bit, and then remember what you taught me - and here's the crazy part: I can take care of these patients. You made me into an Emergency Medicine Doctor. I still have a lot to learn, but you have given me a great set of knowledge and skills as a base to start from. I am deeply indebted to you and grateful for the time and efforts given to teach me.”
-Christopher Nussbaum, MD, 2008

"Dear Dr. Nobay,
I have to say, over the years I have witnessed many interactions between residency leadership and residents. Your group was so comfortable with you today, they appeared to be so at ease. The back and forth between you and the residents was relaxed and respectful. Not all groups are like that, it was so nice to see that! Happy New Year!"
