The program offers training in seven different clinical sites. The primary site, UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, is an urban, tertiary care academic medical center. It is the region’s only Level-1 trauma center (combined Adult and Pediatric), Sacramento’s safety net hospital for the uninsured and underinsured, home to the region’s only comprehensive burn center and comprehensive children’s hospital, and one of four California Poison Control Centers.

Sacramento Kaiser Permanente cares for patients from the northern and eastern sides of Sacramento and has an annual volume that exceed 115,000 patients.

The residency program is designed to meet or exceed all applicable ACGME requirements and to cover the entire core curriculum in Emergency Medicine over three years. While on Emergency Medicine rotations, residents are exclusively supervised by board certified/board eligible Emergency Medicine physicians. Graduates from the program are eligible for board certification by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM).

The program offers advanced training in ultrasound, quality improvement and patient safety, and medical toxicology. The Department of Emergency Medicine supports several fellowship programs whose trainees actively participate in resident supervision and education. Residents, fellows, and faculty are supported through a culture of wellness that promotes personal resiliency, professional fulfillment, and career sustainability.
