OVERVIEW
Founded in 1974 at Valley Medical Center in Fresno County, the Emergency Medicine residency is one of the first EM programs in the country. We offer a four-year program (PGY 1-4) with 10 residents per year, featuring a strong emphasis on clinical teaching and hands-on training.
The New ED!
On April 17th, 2007, after years of planning, the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program successfully moved to a new campus at Community Regional Medical Center. Our giant, new, state-of-the-art ED serves as the only Level 1 trauma center and Burn center for Central California, and handles an annual ED volume of 110,000.
Council of Residency Directors (CORD) Resident Academic Achievement Award
Dr. Timothy Platts-Mills, one of our chief residents received the coveted CORD resident academic achievement award for 2007. This award, given to one EM resident, is intended to recognize an individual who has demonstrated much promise as a future academic faculty member. Tim is a wonderful teacher and clinician. In addition to numerous peer reviewed articles and book chapters, Tim will be the editor for the textbook “First Aid for the Emergency Medicine Boards”. He is a reviewer for Annals of Emergency Medicine and was recognized as a top 50 reviewer for 2006. Tim has accepted a faculty position at the University of North Carolina. Great work Tim!
