Residency Director’s Perspective
We try to accomplish several goals
during the training of Emergency
Medicine residents at Ohio State.
In achieving these goals, three
elements must be present: (1)
There must be a desire by the
resident to become the best emergency physician
possible, (2) there must be a means to achieve this goal
which includes the highest quality, state-of-the-art
patient care and a broad clinical experience, and (3)
there must be limitless academic opportunity.
Through our resident selection process, we look for
highly motivated physicians who will become
exceptional residents and emergency physicians.
Because Ohio State has over 450 residents in training
programs representing all specialties, our residents
become part of an extensive teaching program
dedicated to clinical excellence and academic strength.
Our residents are supervised by faculty, whose primary
career goals are education, research and making an
academic contribution to Emergency Medicine.
Our Department of Emergency Medicine has gained
international acclaim for scientific research, especially
in the area of cardiac resuscitation. In addition, we
collaborate with specialist in other disciplines in the
conduction of a variety of clinical studies. Our primary
focus in the residency program, however, is the
attainment of clinical skills in Emergency Medicine.
Our conferences cover the entire Emergency Medicine
Core Content and reference the most recent Emergency
Medicine literature. The goal of many of our
conferences and journal clubs is to evaluate critically
the current literature in such a way that this knowledge
can be applied to the practice of Emergency Medicine
and taught to others. We place great emphasis on the
methodology of evaluating, understanding and applying
the knowledge gained from the recent literature as a
means of ensuring continuous lifelong learning
following residency training.
Limitless academic opportunity is achieved in several
ways. Residents are exposed to numerous clinical
problems and populations. They are exposed to
ongoing clinical and laboratory research involving
several aspects of Emergency Medicine. The training at
Ohio State also exposes residents to the subspecialties
of Emergency Medicine. In fact, there are
opportunities for fellowship training in nearly all
subspecialties within our department.
In summary, our overall goals as Residency Program
Director, academicians, and clinicians are to impact in a
significant way the emergency care of the maximum number
of patients possible, to save as many lives as possible and to
contribute significantly to the specialty of Emergency
Medicine. By being instrumental in helping Emergency
Medicine residents to fulfill their potential in becoming
Emergency Medicine physicians, we feel that we are
achieving these goals.

their new facilities.
Trauma Services
The Ohio State University Medical Center has an
active trauma service with a Level 1 trauma center
designation. Our Emergency Department receives
patients from the community as well as trauma
referrals from throughout Central and Southeastern
Ohio. Emergency Medicine residents are an
integral part of the trauma team in all trauma
resuscitations. Third year residents in the
Emergency Department participate in management
of trauma resuscitations both as trauma team
leaders and airway managers. Second year
residents also spend time in the OSU Surgical ICU
and on the trauma surgery team at Grant Hospital,
the only other Level 1 Trauma Center in the City
that manages a high proportion of penetrating
trauma patients.
Emergency Medical Service
(EMS) Experience
Pre-hospital care is emphasized throughout the
residency program. First year residents are assigned
to paramedic units operating through the Columbus
Fire Department and other local emergency medical
services. Curriculum is longitudinal under the
direction of EMS faculty and fellows
In addition to
accompanying
paramedic teams on
emergency calls,
residents will be directly
involved in the
planning and operation
of the EMS systems.
A cooperative effort
between the Department
of Emergency Medicine
and the OSU Wexner
Medical Center, and the
Center for EMS
(CEMS) seeks to
provide an educational
and research resource to
the central Ohio EMS community. Since 2004, the
Center for EMS at The Ohio State University Wexner
Medical Center is dedicated to improving outcomes for
cardiac arrest, trauma and other patients in our
community. By uniting the efforts of the pre-hospital
provider with the hospital-based team, the Center for
EMS is dedicated to providing everyone in the
community the best opportunity for survival and
improved quality of life.
MedFlight is the critical care transport service serving
Central Ohio and operated by The Ohio State University

Resident Conferences
Emergency Medicine conferences take place
weekly, every Wednesday morning and include 4-5
hours of lectures, discussions and case conferences.
The format of this educational setting is specifically
designed to be innovative and interactive.
Emergency Medicine conferences are attended by
faculty and are
considered protected
time for residents
working in the
emergency
department and nearly
all off-service
rotations.
Conferences
encompass a variety
of activities including:
lecture, small group
discussions, skills lab
sessions, case-based
scenarios, morbidity
and mortality
conferences, panel
discussions and debate sessions, in-situ simulations,
as well as online, asynchronous learning modules
with substantial topic-based review and testing
materials.
Lectures are given predominantly by the Ohio State
University faculty, both internal and external to our
department. Visiting professors of national
prominence are invited to share their expertise in
specific areas of Emergency Medicine.
Residents at all levels prepare at least one conference
per year. Concise, 30 minute lecture format is
incorporated whenever possible.
Monthly 2-hour small group discussions are led by
designated EM faculty with particular interest and
expertise in education. During the first year of
residency, additional lecture sessions are scheduled
during the month of July to provide an overview of
Emergency Medicine and an orientation to the
curriculum. At OSU, emphasis is placed on active
learning and engaging, thought provoking educational
formats.
Hyperbaric Medicine
The Emergency Department at The Ohio State
University offers 24-hour hyperbaric coverage. Many
of the Emergency Medicine faculty are hyperbaric
medicine certified and supervise scheduled dives as
well as emergently performed dives. Two critical
care-capable chambers are contained within the OSU
Main Emergency Department. Throughout their
training, residents have the option of participating in a
formal hyperbaric medicine course and participating in
dives conducted by attending physicians.
Clinical Skills Education and
Assessment Center
The Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center at
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is a
state-of-the-art training center simulating actual patient
care experiences. The changing nature of medical
practice and the national demand for accountability in
medical education highlight the need for a leading-edge
clinical skills center like the one at Ohio State. National
accrediting bodies are challenging medical education
institutions to demonstrate that medical students and
residents possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and
attitudes essential to the practice of medicine.
Emergency Medicine residents participate in protected
monthly 2-hour skills labs to review indications and
contraindications and practice skills pertinent to
emergency medicine processes and procedures. Formal
simulation curriculum has been implemented.
The Clinical Skills Center recently completed an
extensive expansion with the construction of an
additional dedicated floor in the Prior Health Sciences
Library. The facility features patient encounter rooms,
patient models, actors, high-tech patient simulators and
electronic monitoring stations. This offers simulated
ICU, ED and OR rooms, as well as dedicated space for
ultrasound training and hands-on procedural training.
The Center provides exciting opportunities for
comprehensive interdisciplinary education. We
anticipate continued acquisition of high fidelity
simulators to meet a broad range of educational needs.
National Conferences
The residency provides funds and time off annually for
each class to attend one conference. This conference
time has been proven to be both educational and fun.
Many residents value the bonding experience with
co-residents, the dedicated educational experience, and
the opportunity to become involved in emergency
medicine at a regional and national level. Currently, the
PGY-1 class attends the Ohio ACEP Board Review
Course, the PGY-2 class attends the AAEM or SAEM
National Meeting, and the PGY-3 class attends the
ACEP National Meeting.
Observation Medicine
The Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) in the Emergency
Department at The Ohio State University Wexner
Medical Center is a 20-bed unit that specializes in the
efficient treatment of certain patient populations whose
care dictates an extended stay for either diagnosis or
therapeutic management. There are over 30 active
patient observation protocols, and the unit is staffed
by mid-level providers and attending physicians who
specialize in ED-based observation care. This offers
experience in observation medicine and a wealth of
research opportunities for our residents.
Research and Scholarly Activity
Residents are required to participate in at least one
scholarly activity during the course of their training.
This may be a basic science project, a clinical or
epidemiological study, a case report or a collective
clinical review of publishable quality. One or two
blocks of elective time may also be used to supplement
this experience. The purpose of the requirement is to
introduce the resident to the critical evaluation of the
biomedical literature and research methodology. The
Emergency Medicine faculty are active in all facets of
research and scholarly activity and serve to guide
residents through this requirement. For basic science
research projects, the faculty use animal research
facilities and are actively involved in interdisciplinary
research within the University. In addition, several
ongoing pre-hospital and emergency department
clinical research projects provide an opportunity for
residents interested in educational research robust
nationally recognized clinical studies. Residents are
encouraged to publish and present at regional or
national meetings during their training. All emergency
medicine residents have protected time to attend or
present monthly journal clubs under supervision by our
research faculty. This provides excellent training in
critical review of current literature in emergency
medicine.
Hawaii
This rotation is a one-block exposure to community
emergency medicine at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital
Emergency Department in Honolulu, HI. Third year
residents choosing this elective will manage patients in
the ED presenting with a wide variety of acute
complaints under the supervision of attending
physicians. The population has a unique culture and a
higher percentage of elderly patients. This elective also
provides an opportunity for residents to practice in a
Health Maintenance Organization care setting.
Additionally, the residents will have eight hours of
didactic training in hyperbaric medicine at the Kuakini
Medical Center.
Diversity
The College of Medicine and the Department of
Emergency Medicine recognizes and value a varied
background among its physicians and cultivates a
culture that is inclusive and diverse.
Resident Wellness
At The Ohio State University Emergency Medicine
Residency we understand that work-life balance is
essential to physician wellness. The residency features a
formal wellness education and wellness committee that
organizes frequent social events and activities. The
residents have participated in intramural kickball,
basketball, volleyball and flag football. The residency
emphasizes a collegial and professional environment.
Many social events bring residents, faculty and staff
together throughout the year. To welcome the new
interns, the department hosts an annual Welcome Picnic
for residents and faculty. There is also an annual
graduation activity such as golf or attend a baseball
game. In addition, a holiday party for the department
and the residency program brings festivities and
laughter. Residents and attendings frequently get
together outside of the department, especially for
breakfast after night shifts. Residents have teamed up
together to participate in the annual "Med Wars" race,
formed cycling teams for Pelotonia, traveled abroad for
an international medicine experience, provide care at the
Columbus Free Clinics, as well as many other social and
community activities.
