Stanford Emergency Medicine Residency

Exceptional clinical training. Innovative professional development. Uniquely Stanford.

Hands-on experience in diverse settings with high-acuity patients and graduated responsibility is critical to our emergency medicine training. 

But that is just the beginning.  

Our curriculum fosters lifelong growth while building skilled clinicians. Graduates of our program are not just physicians; they also have the confidence, resources, and connections to advance emergency care in ways that extend far beyond the walls of the hospital.

Our residents benefit from:

  • exceptional clinical training at 3 diverse training sites with high patient volumes, including a level 1 trauma center
  • innovative four-year curriculum
  • personalized career development through extensive elective offerings
  • dedication to wellness and professional growth
  • a dynamic culture of excellence and innovation

 

For more than 30 years, we have had the privilege of training original thinkers, compassionate life-savers, dedicated clinicians, and brilliant researchers. Each resident has left a mark on the program, and we are proud to have many former residents as faculty.
