Current Residents

Welcome to the University Hospitals / Case Western Reserve University Emergency Medicine Residency Program! We are so excited that you are interested in learning about our residency program, and want to highlight why we believe UH offers one of the top training environments in the country.

UH is a program looking to innovate and make our mark on the field. With a youthful faculty hailing from programs around the nation, we have opportunities in nearly every subspecialty, from EMS to pediatric emergency medicine, critical care to sports medicine, point-of-care ultrasound to toxicology. A diverse clinical experience and engaging conference sessions combine to prepare our graduates as expert diagnosticians, master resuscitationists, and skilled advocates. Our community of trainees practices at a busy urban Level 1 trauma center as well as suburban regional medical centers and rural Level 3 hospitals, ensuring they are prepared for a fulfilling, lifelong career in emergency medicine.

Cleveland is the ideal city for a resident, offering all the amenities of a large U.S. city while maintaining a low cost of living. Some of America’s top cultural attractions are a short walk from the hospital, including the Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall, home to the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra. Downtown, you will find the second-largest theater district in the country and a prominent sports scene with three professional teams. To get outside, visit the Cuyahoga Valley National Park only 45 minutes away and the Cleveland Metroparks, or “Emerald Necklace,” spanning more than 23,700 acres and 300 miles of trails including multiple parks on Lake Erie, one of the few places in the Midwest where you can surf.

We understand that applying to residency during a global pandemic adds an additional layer of challenges in finding your ideal program for the next stage in your training. We will miss getting to know you in person but are working hard to create an interview day that can demonstrate our programs unique attributes in a socially distanced manner. You are welcome to reach out to us at emchiefresidents@uhhospitals.org with any questions you may have or if there is any way we can help in these unprecedented times!
