Residency Program

Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has an established a Emergency Medicine Residency program. The Department of Emergency Medicine was established as a full academic department at the Medical Center in July, 2000. The residency program received accreditation in 2003, enrolled its first class of residents in 2004, and has been fully accredited since 2006. The volume of patients seen in the Emergency Department, the forty accredited residency and fellowship programs currently in existence in the institution, and the desire of the Emergency Medicine Faculty to teach create a well-rounded residency experience. The central Pennsylvania regional census growth and the availability of an expanding Department of Emergency Medicine within a level-one trauma center, quaternary medical center facilitated the demand for an independent residency at the Medical Center.
