University of North Carolina Department of Emergency Medicine

The UNC EM Residency was founded in 1995 by Dr. Judith Tintinalli, our Residency Program consists of a 3 year, RRC accredited Emergency Medicine program. We have 10 residents per year who staff the 70,000 patient-per-year UNC Hospital Emergency Department in Chapel Hill. Our residents also spend 40% of their clinical time at Wake Med Medical Center in Raleigh, NC, which sees over 75,000 adults and 45,000 pediatric patients yearly, making it the highest volume emergency department in the Chapel Hill-Durham-Raleigh region.

We are innovators in the use of medical simulation, ultrasound, international health, pediatric training, and emphasize experience in both community and academic settings to optimally prepare each graduate for leadership in whichever career in Emergency Medicine they chose to pursue. We aim to train the next generation of Emergency Medicine leaders.
