As the only Level 1 Trauma Center and Pediatric ED servicing a 6,000-square-mile catchment area, our residency program offers a unique and unparalleled training experience. Residents are immersed in a dynamic, high-acuity, high-volume emergency department, exposing them to a remarkably diverse patient population. A longitudinal EMS curriculum and community and critical access ED rotations ensure residents are exposed to all aspects of emergency care.
At the Virginia Tech Carilion Emergency Medicine residency, we provide comprehensive training that prepares our resident physicians to confidently work in any ED setting.
