 The
Department's educational mission is to train proficient, caring
physicians able to meet the many challenges of emergency medicine.
We are committed to provide our graduates with the clinical and
interpersonal skills to appropriately manage multiple acutely
ill or injured patients in a timely, compassionate, and cost-effective
manner.

This is an ACGME and AOA dually accredited residency program
in Emergency Medicine that can graduate 10 Board-prepared physicians
per year, with a total capacity for 30 residents. The primary
site for the residency is the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
Union Hospital and St. Barnabas Medical Center serve as the major
affiliates. All graduating residents are eligible to take the
certifying exam for the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
Residents also train at the University of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey (UMDNJ) and Monmouth Medical Center. This provides
a diversity of training in various clinical settings. All of
these hospitals are within the St. Barnabas Health Care System,
with the exception of the trauma rotation at UMDNJ. In addition,
there is a new rotation at the New York Poison Control Center
and a truma rotation at the Jersey City Medical Center
The main emergency department at Newark Beth Israel saw approximately
72,000 visits during 2000. This includes a separate pediatric
emergency department with approximately 24,000 visits for the
same year. The pediatric section is fully staffed by physicians
board-certified in pediatric emergency medicine and/or emergency
medicine.
In addition to clinical training, every resident is required
to complete a scholarly project.
