The NYU/Bellevue Residency in Emergency Medicine is an integrated four-year residency with a mission to train highly competent emergency physicians with the skills to advance the specialty of emergency medicine. We select residents who have an expressed a desire to gain expertise in not only clinical medicine, but also leadership, teaching and research. We expect our graduates to define and achieve proficiency in an area of specialization that will allow them to be future leaders, regardless of the type of practice they ultimately choose.

Emergency Medicine is a challenging and demanding field. You will manage critically ill patients and simultaneously provide episodic and urgent care to patients who present with a great variety of signs and symptoms across a wide spectrum of diseases. Vitally important to your success is an ability to interact effectively with physicians from all specialties, nurses, social workers, administrators, patients and families, and first responders such as EMS, police, and fire department personnel. The required combination of clinical, administrative and social skills, and the ability to apply them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, are unique to the practice of Emergency Medicine. The NYU/Bellevue Residency in Emergency Medicine is designed to provide you with the skills and maturity necessary to be a complete emergency physician.

Bellevue Hospital Center is the base of the residency and offers EM Residents a unique educational experience. Bellevue Hospital is distinguished by its role as historical and important public health institution with care of the underserved as its mission, a large trauma volume, integration with a pediatric emergency department with a dedicated staff of academic pediatric emergency physicians, and unrivaled socioeconomic diversity. NYU Medical Center/Tisch Hospital offers an educational experience that enhances and complements the Bellevue Experience. Tisch Hospital serves as a private community hospital and as an academic tertiary-care referral center. The Emergency Department at the Manhattan VA Hospital is a low-volume center where emergency medicine interns receive focused teaching from an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine. The absence of intermediate-level residents allows the intern to care primarily for the sicker patients and to perform advanced procedures, with intensive teaching and increased direct contact with the attending physician.

Graduates of the NYU/Bellevue Residency in Emergency Medicine are well trained in core clinical concepts as well as practice elements unique to emergency care, such as resuscitation, prehospital care, disaster management, toxicology, and environmental emergencies. They are well prepared to teach in the setting of an academic medical center, and to manage the medical and social problems that confront emergency physicians practicing in an urban environment.
