Program Director’s Welcome

We have a great opportunity for Emergency Medicine training here at the University of Missouri. I joined the faculty in 2013 and was part of the team that built the residency program that began in 2014.

Emergency Medicine residents

We have amazing faculty who share my goal — to maximize your training opportunities and education over the 36 months we are together in order to make you a successful EM physician. You will establish foundational principles of critical thinking that you can draw upon to become a skilled Emergency Medicine physician.

We provide emergency care for the majority of the state of Missouri and also treat patients from Iowa and Arkansas. Our catchment area mainly serves a large portion of the state's rural population, which brings its own unique challenges. In October 2019, our Emergency Department (ED) completed a massive expansion to accommodate our rapidly growing census. The University Hospital ED has four critical care bays, 38 treatment rooms, a FastER, and observation unit. We use bedside ultrasound whenever possible in our ED. Our ED has a dedicated C-arm for fluroscopic procedures.

Emergency Medicine residency training is a period of intense work, with long hours spent mastering the fundamentals of the specialty, but it is also a time of extraordinary personal and professional growth. Encountering people who are often having the worst day of their lives enables us to uniquely bear witness to some of life’s most triumphant and tragic moments.
