notes

The EM residency also includes an extensive EMS curriculum which is integrated throughout the 4 years.

*In the PGY2-4 years, shifts at SCH are scheduled as part of every HMC and UWMC ED block. This is equivalent to one month per year of Pediatric Emergency Medicine.

**In the PGY3 and 4 years, to further their long-term career plans, residents design and develop career development tracks (“CDT”) with specialty faculty, advisors, and residency leadership.

The University of Washington provides four weeks of vacation and one personal holiday per year for all residents in every specialty.
