Why choose Ohio State for your residency?
We at Ohio State Emergency Medicine (EM) are proud to embody a program that pushes for the very best residency education, persistent innovation and advancement of causes we believe in.
We work hard to ensure that the education we provide our residents is the best possible curriculum in a quaternary care setting. We optimize residents’ clinical experiences to include the highest-yield rotations, and also include a generous number of elective rotations in three years so that residents can customize their experience to build toward their future careers. We offer state-of-the-art resident education with engaged faculty presenting innovative didactics and small groups, weekly simulation and procedural sessions, a world-class ultrasound program, and special conference days such as Wilderness Medicine and our annual resident retreat.
We are proud of additional areas in which Ohio State EM stands out — countless academic and professional development opportunities, a robust resident well-being program funded by our $2 million Sam Kiehl III Endowment, and a true push for equity and parity both for our patients and our colleagues through our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and our women in EM group, Resident and Faculty Female Together (RAFFT).
Finally, we offer a robust resident coaching program where dedicated faculty mentors can help you tailor your residency experience to achieve your goals. Subsequently, we consistently place our graduates in competitive positions and geographic areas year after year — in both academic and community settings. We look forward to you joining our Buckeye EM family!
