Essential Duties & Responsibilities

The resident will be responsible for direct patient care to emergency medicine (EM) patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The high-volume, high-complexity ED populations at this tertiary care center allow for a challenging and rewarding learning environment. Electives will be available in a variety of other patient care environments to develop a well-rounded EM practitioner. In addition to clinical practice experiences, the PGY2 EM resident will have the opportunity to engage in academic activities, which include IPPE/APPE precepting, scholarly activity, as well as didactic and simulation- based instruction at the University. The resident will also conduct research projects and engage in leadership development.
