Why SJH EM? Curriculum How to Apply Benefits & Stipend
What makes our residency special?
Busiest single-site ED in Detroit-over 120,000 visits a year
The best way to learn is by seeing patients and managing pathology
Level I trauma center
We see equal or more trauma than the other programs in the city. EMS does not divert adult or pediatric trauma from our hospital for any reason.
No orthopedic residency program at St. John
ER physicians reduce all necessary dislocations and fractures
Propofol in the ED
ER physicians can utilize propofol for procedures and will gain that much more experience in procedural sedation and airway management
Participate in running medical and trauma codes as a first year resident
Learning by experience begins early enough to assert proficiency
Pediatric ER
We have a dedicated pediatric ER and pediatric-EM trained faculty. For residents, pediatric shifts are mixed into the schedule with adult shifts to maintain educational acuity.
Tactical EMS
A voluntary way to become involved with local law enforcement and local EMS
Research
The St. John GME office provides research staff and support from study design all the way to statistics
Single Site
Until PGY-3, all rotations are at St. John. In the third year, ophthalmology and pediatric anesthesia are at the DMC
