Emergency Medicine Residency

Nazareth Hospital is home to a three-year ACGME-accredited Emergency Medicine Residency Program in Northeast Philadelphia. The program offers six resident positions per year.

Our goal is to train highly competent emergency medicine physicians who can work in a variety of clinical settings and feel confident to practice in any emergency department, whether community focused or academic centered.

Nazareth Hospital is a community teaching hospital with 160 acute beds and 27 skilled beds that accommodate over 8,000 admissions yearly. We are a nationally certified stroke center and emergency cardiac catheterization center. Currently, we have residency programs in Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Ophthalmology, Surgery, Emergency Medicine and a Cardiology Fellowship Program 

The Emergency Department serves over 51,000 patients each year. We have 34 private patient rooms with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with 6 that are negative pressure capable. We serve a diverse population of all ages with varied economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. Acuity comes with the territory as we care for many of Philadelphia’s underserved.

The program is a three-year training program (post-graduate year 1, 2, 3) which accepts six residents each year for a total of 18 residents. Nazareth Hospital will be the primary emergency medicine rotation site with additional rotations at St. Christopher’s for Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania for Trauma and St. Mary’s for OB and Anesthesia and Mercy Fitzgerald for EMS.
