Meet Our Residents

Recruiting and developing “leaders” and “scholars” builds a foundation of success in our residency programs. Our residents provide a leadership impact ranging from their excellence in patient care to their participation in areas of organized medicine. Many of our residents go on to complete fellowships and gravitate toward academic careers and leadership positions.

We are honored to have residents who have served in our armed forces. Outside of our Operational Emergency Medicine (OEM) residents, we would like to recognize those who have served prior to residency.
