Welcome to the University of Rochester's Emergency Medicine Residency Program. It is our hope that as you peruse these pages that you will see a program dedicated to supporting you in your desire to become the best Emergency Medicine physician possible. Our three year program is based on a clinical volume of approximately 117,000 patients per year at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

Our strengths are numerous; however, a few stand out that we would like to highlight:

  • We treat a broad diversity of patients that come from a wide geographic region
  • We actively foster incredible camaraderie within the residency
  • We are a supportive and creative teaching environment
  • We host passionate faculty from across the nation
  • We live in a four-seasoned city, rich in culture, education and activities
  • We are a Patient Family Centered Care with an abundance of clinical diversity
  • We have nationally renowned, dedicated faculty who are individually committed to your success
  • We have subspecialty expertise that allows your professional interests to be explored and developed

Residency Diversity and Inclusion Statement:

Our program values inclusion regarding gender identity, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and perspective as it fosters a better understanding of the unique human experience in and out of the healthcare setting. We are committed to training culturally sensitive physicians reflective of the diverse population we serve. We strive to graduate residents who continue to demonstrate the importance of diversity and inclusion by providing equitable care for all patients. At the University of Rochester, individual differences are welcomed, valued, and supported.

Resident Life

Rochester, URMC and You

Alumni Spotlight...

John Zwart

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a small town in Ohio and then spent much of my early adulthood in Alaska

Where did you attend medical school?
I attended medical school at the University of Washington in Seattle

Where did you attend residency? 
University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry is where I did my residency

As someone who grew up outside of Rochester, what brought you back to Rochester after completing your training and/or attending position outside of the ED? 

After spending a couple of years as a young attendee at URMC and Highland, I moved back to Seattle, where I had attended medical school. The connections to colleagues and friends in Rochester were well maintained over the next 8 years before we moved back. As our family was growing and we began to prioritize working for an organization with long term sustainability and a community that allows for raising a family with ease, we decided that Rochester was the ideal place to lay down roots.

  • Celebrated our residents this week by a visit to Lasertron with some of our leadership after conference! Not a bad way to work out some work frustrations!

    Thank you for all that you do!

  • Happy Holidays from our residency family to yours! 🎄🎁🎉

  • Morning shifts are often a bit slower (if we’re lucky), so we try to do teaching rounds every morning!

    Faculty run the show during the week, but weekends mean senior residents have the chance to show off their teaching skills/topics of interest.

    It’s a great way to review common EM things to look out for on shift!
