==History==
The Brown Residency Program is proud to be the first Ivy League Emergency Medicine training program established.  The primary teaching site is Rhode Island Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center, accredited stroke center, and regional tertiary care academic medical center.  Rhode Island Hospital is home to one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the US, and over 106,000 patients came through the ED doors in 2015. The RIH ED is also among the top ten busiest trauma registries in the US.  

In addition to the rich clinical experience at RIH, there are 2 additional training sites located on the RIH campus: Hasbro Children’s Hospital, and Women and Infants Hospital. Hasbro Children’s is a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, a leading pediatric specialty hospital, and the region’s only center for pediatric critical care. Women and Infants is the region’s main resource for women’s health and specialty newborn care. The Miriam Hospital, the community affiliate and another training site, has an annual census close to 60,000 visits, and is located less than 3 miles from the Trauma Center. All of the training sites boast superb clinical and educational opportunities in large volume and high acuity settings. 

The BrownEM Program has an accredited Medical Simulation center, procedure labs, and opportunities to explore niches such as Ultrasound, Critical Care, Global Health, EMS, Research, Injury Prevention, and Sex & Gender in EM among many others. There is a major focus on professional development, leadership, mentorship, & the Residency is well funded for research, international medicine, and wellness. Interns start with EM Orientation, and the Program is mindful of the balance between a rigorous clinical training schedule and a life outside of medicine - with abundant resources and support for EM residents to succeed. 

Other benefits include a generously funded Residency Wellness/Retreat Budget; iPads; Professional development opportunities protected and funded for residents, including national (AAEM, ACEP, CORD, EMRA, SAEM) and regional conference attendance, Leadership and Advocacy conference attendance, CPC attendance, Orientation events, leadership development at all levels, and additional career development for PGY4s. Membership dues for ACEP, CORD, EMRA, SAEM, as well as supplemental educational materials, such as Board review materials, a book allowance, and more, fully funded.
