State of EM Training at the UW, part II

Join us April 10th for a special discussion of the past, present, and future of EM training here at the UW! As you know, there currently is no EM residency program here in Seattle, but recent developments have been encouraging! This meeting will have two components:

1. A presentation by Dr. Bremner (Medicine department chair) and Dr. Broudy (HMC) to discuss the past, present, and future of EM here in Seattle. Progress has been made and more developments are on the horizon.

2. A presentation by Dr. Susan Prommes from San Francisco will share the "UCSF experience" of founding a new EM residency. UCSF is one of the newest EM programs in the country and recently matched their first residency class this year (including a student from the UW).

Join us in showing our strong interest in EM and the need to have a residency program here in Seattle!

The March 2008 Match Results!!

Come see the new 2008 Match results on the EMIG Residency Planning Website! UW School of Medicine matched 15 people to Emergency Medicine this year and we got students into some of the greatest and most sought after programs for EM in the country!

The EMIG Planning website includes a list of all recent programs and students that UW has matched in Emergency Medicine over the last several years. In addition, it has a time line of things to think about if you are interested in applying to Emergency Medicine as well as other important info. Also updated a few broken links, such as the UWMC Emergency Medicine Clerkship pages!
