Curriculum
Through clinical, didactic, and patient simulation technology, Upstate EM residents become credentialed to perform all of the Residency Review Committee (RRC) required skills.
Resident education occurs in Syracuse, New York at Upstate Medical University, St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center, Crouse Hospital, the VA Hospital and Upstate University Hospital at Community Campus. The unique populations at these clinical sites allow for very different patient interactions.
