Rewriting Residency: What ACGME’s Proposal Means for EM
Episode description
Big news for emergency medicine residencies! The ACGME is proposing several major changes to EM program requirements. To comply with these new requirements, programs would need to be 4 years long. This is a hotly debated topic at the moment as most EM residencies in the U.S. currently are 3 year programs. So what are the proposed changes? How would they affect the curriculum and training for future EM physicians? To answer these questions, we sit down with UC Davis EM Program Director and medical education specialist, Dr. Aaron Danielson.
What do you think of these proposed changes? We’d love to hear from you. We’re on social media @empulsepodcast or connect with us on ucdavisem.com
