Welcome to the UH Center for Emergency Medicine's Residency Program

At University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, in collaboration with Case Western Reserve University, we position our residency around growth. As a result, we designed our Emergency Medicine Residency program to help you become the very best clinician, leader and life-long learner you can be. We firmly believe we are training you to be a world-class emergency physician who can practice EM in any environment.

Whether your goal is to practice in a world-class ivory tower academic center, a small single-coverage community department or in an under-resourced international setting; we aim to prepare you for it all.

To do this, we are mindful about finding ways to challenge you at each step of your residency through a graduated responsibility curriculum.
