Educational Curriculum
The educational curriculum for Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) emergency medicine residents has been developed to provide an environment where learners have optimal exposure to the core content of emergency medicine training. Under the direction of experienced emergency medicine staff, residents will develop their skills in a graded fashion over the three year period with progressively greater responsibility and autonomy. By the close of their training residents are equipped to work in academic, county or community settings. The monthly block rotations and didactic sessions have been designed to optimize the educational experience in all aspects of emergency medicine.
