Curriculum

The residency program in Emergency Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is a three year course of practice that is home to 23 full time faculty and 30 residents. The resident physician in our program is challenged with a variety of rotation experiences.

Didactics

Conference

Resident didactic conferences are held once weekly for four hours. Conferences include modules that cover the core content of emergency medicine through a blend of 20-minute high-yield mini lectures and interactive small group discussions facilitated by faculty and teaching residents. Recurring conference sessions also include Case Conference, M&M, and a Critical Care series, in addition to periodic joint multidisciplinary conferences held with Trauma Surgery and Radiology. Most months feature one morning devoted to simulation sessions and procedural skills labs. Educational sessions occur several times during the year to help prepare residents for their eventual board examinations. Special events that have included guest speakers, wilderness day and an off-campus Dive Medicine workshop are sprinkled throughout the year. A special EBM-themed conference in 2019 included a live podcast recording with Ken Milne of The Skeptics Guide to Emergency Medicine (listen to the podcast).

Journal Club

Evening journal clubs are held once monthly and are hosted by faculty members at their homes.  The evening includes dinner, which residents’ families often attend as well, and then a discussion of a PICO question. View our Journal Club Archives.

Clinical Rotations

Our clinical curriculum is designed to prepare residency graduates for clinical practice in any emergency department setting.
