The Yale-New Haven Medical Center Emergency Medicine residency training program, which began in 1996, recently graduated its eighth class. Our four-year program offers excellent training in emergency medicine and includes six months of critical care experience and six months of elective time. Rotations are performed at Yale-New Haven Medical Center and Bridgeport Hospital.

A major strength of the program is the opportunity residents have to complete rotations in underdeveloped countries with funding provided by the Yale/Johnson & Johnson Physician Scholars in International Health Program. Many of our program graduates pursue careers in academic emergency medicine or continue their training with a fellowship in areas like international health, ultrasound, toxicology, or pre-hospital medicine.

Yale currently offers fellowship training in emergency medical services, pediatric emergency medicine, and emergency ultrasound, all nationally recognized for their excellence in training. The Yale Emergency Medicine faculty members are national leaders. Many of our faculty are actively engaged in national professional organizations and hold leadership positions in them. Currently, Dr. David Cone, EMS Division Director, is the President of the National Association of EMS Physicians and Dr. Linda C. Degutis, Research Division Director, is incoming president of the American Public Health Association. Dr. Chris Moore, Ultrasound Division Director, was recently recognized as the National American College of Emergency Physicians Teacher of the Year.
