Resident and faculty presenters offer clinical pearls while showcasing the strengths of the residency program they represent.

What’s Happening to Rural Emergency Departments?

This spring, a reporter for the Washington Post snapped photos as Dr. James Graham, a 41-year employee of Fairfax Community Hospital, shut down his emergency department for the last time.
