The Newark Beth Israel Medical Center EM Residency is accredited
by both the ACGME and AOA. Historically, the NBIMC AOA program
began in 1993. In 1995-1996 it merged with the AOA accredited
program at Union Hospital that had been established in 1980 to
create a single osteopathic program. Allopathic (ACGME) accreditation
was obtained in 1998 and since then, there is one integrated
program curriculum for the graduates of either osteopathic or
allopathic medical schools. Residents rotate at all the affiliated
hospitals but spend the majority of their clinical time at NBIMC.
Off-service rotations in trauma are conducted at Newark's UMDNJ-University
Hospital and at Jersey City Medical Center. The toxicology rotation
takes place at the New York Poison Control Center in Manhattan.
Multiple sites provide the residents with a socioeconomic and
demographic variety, while broadening their clinical exposure.
The goals of the emergency medicine residency are to provide
a supportive environment that encourages the acquisition of knowledge
and develops the clinical judgment and skills needed to practice
state of the art emergency medicine. The department encourages
the development of compassionate physicians who have a sense
of responsibility to the community and to their profession.
The department considers an environment of scholarly inquiry
to be an essential part of residency training. Residents are
encouraged to engage in research and initiate their own projects
with supervision by EM faculty and leadership from the program's
research director and vice-chair for academic affairs.
