PGY 1/ EM Emphasis Internship

This year provides the young clinician with a firm foundation of how the hospital and all its specialties interact and function. This year allows the resident to gain exposure to Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Surgery, Radiology, Critical Care and 3 months of Emergency Medicine. This broad exposure to multiple specialties gives the intern a firm knowledge of what will be expected of him/her while in the emergency department. The intern gains a clear understanding of how important the Gate Keepers of Emergency Medicine are. Interns function as the primary physician, coordinating proper care of the patient after leaving the ED and prior to being evaluated by attendings. Interns will also serve as first responder on Code Blues and other emergent cases throughout the hospital. They will gain proficiency in emergent procedures such as Endotracheal intubation, Central Line placement, ACLS protocols and management of general medical emergencies.
