BUMC Residency Program

The BUMC Department of Emergency Medicine has a long and successful history of providing undergraduate and graduate medical education delivered and managed by Residency Trained Board Certified/Eligible Emergency Physicians.

Approximately 50% of our attendings are former Chief Residents. Our faculty have completed fellowships in Cardiovascular Emergencies, Emergency Medicine Administration, Emergency Medical Services, and Emergency Ultrasound.

Many of our faculty are active in research and publication of peer-reviewed journal articles and medical textbooks. We support faculty involvement in local, state, and national organized medicine groups to include Texas College of Emergency Physicians, American College of Emergency Physicians, Emergency Medicine Residents Association, etc.

With a 1:2 ratio of attendings to residents, we foster an engaging learning environment that will grant residents unparalleled access to the highest quality emergency medicine education available during their rotations.
