At the University of Wisconsin, we balance high expectations with unparalleled investment, ensuring each resident acquires the skills and habits needed to thrive during residency and beyond. In our world-class Simulation Center, you will learn inter-professional practice and team skills that will be imperative for success in tomorrow’s healthcare delivery systems. In the skies over Wisconsin (through one of the Midwest’s premier Medflight programs) or in the hospitals of Africa (through one of our long-standing global health partnerships), you will gain the skills needed to practice emergency medicine in the most challenging of environments, when lives are in the balance. Through it all, an emphasis on patient and family-centered care will keep you grounded, continually reminding you of the reasons you pursued a career in medicine in the first place.
