From community medical directors to residency program leaders and professional sports team physicians, to institutional directors of disaster medicine, our graduates are advancing patient care, medical education, and healthcare policy across our specialty.

The impact that our graduates are making in our communities inspires us to move forward, always focused on improving our specialty by developing game-changing leaders in emergency medicine who share our mission throughout Wisconsin and beyond.

"The UW EM program is a cut above all others...
 

"The team here promotes an 'EM plus' mindset, which means you'll not only receive outstanding core training but also any resources you need to excel in niche areas you're interested in within or outside of EM." —Husain Bawany, MD, Class of 2024
