More New Programs and Updates

Continuing the EM Program updates:

New Combined Program:  Johns Hopkins Combined EM/Anesthesia Program:

Dr. Linda Regan:

The Johns Hopkins Department of Emergency Medicine is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our newly accredited combined EM-Anesthesiology program.  This 6-year combined program will allow for dual board certification in the highly complementary fields of EM and Anesthesiology.   We are hoping to find some interested and well-qualified applicants with a plan to start in July of 2018 with two trainees. 

Within ERAS, students should be able to find us by either entering our ACGME program number (7962300001) or by searching for the specialty of EM-Anesthesiology, as we are currently the only program listed.

More information about our new combined program, as well as details about the rotation outline, program leadership, and links to the categorical programs of both EM and Anesthesiology can be found here:

Additional questions can be directed to Linda Regan (program director) at lregan@jhmi.edu or the program coordinator for this combined program, Christina Tarleton, at ctarlet1@jhmi.edu

New Program:  Cape Fear Valley Medical Center

Paul Kleinschmidt:

We are a new program that just started our first group of residents this year.   We were an AOA approved residency that had not taken students but went ahead and made the application for ACGME certification at the same time.   We received our initial certification in April and as such are dually accredited.   We are a four year program that takes 8 residents per year for a total of 32 at this point.

Here is a little more about our facility and program:

Cape Fear Valley Medical Center is the flagship hospital of the Cape Fear Valley Health System, that serves as the major medical system for southeastern North Carolina, and includes six hospitals. The main 110 bed emergency department is the busiest in the state of North Carolina, and easily in the top twenty nationally with over 140,000 visits per year. Our department handles over 2400 medical codes and 800 traumas a year by EMS arrival alone, along with a 30% admission rate in a high acuity population. We are a certified trauma, stroke, stemi, and sepsis center. There is also a co-located pediatric ED serving over 30,000 patients per year. In 2017 we accepted our first class of emergency medicine residents with the eventual goal of 32 residents over a four year program.  We have the volume and resources to keep residents in house for all four years with the exception of toxicology.   Being a four year program we offer some ability to make our last year unique with additional focus on ED administration and other focused interests for the residents, in anticipation of career paths or fellowships.  In addition, while we take both MD’s and DO’s, we will have an osteopathic tract and certification, even training MD’s to a standard of osteopathic principles and practices.
