Mass General Brigham-Massachusetts General Hospital-Brigham and Women’s Hospital-Harvard Medical School Program

Program Identity & Fit

HAEMR is a four-year, quaternary academic program spanning four distinct clinical sites—MGH, BWH, Boston Children's Hospital, and Newton-Wellesley—giving residents a deliberately staged progression from intern to department-running PGY-4 supervisor across both tertiary referral centers and a community ED. The curriculum is structured around escalating autonomy (residents lead trauma resuscitations by PGY-3, run the department by PGY-4), a dedicated procedure block, and dual simulation centers (STRATUS at BWH, the Learning Laboratory at MGH). Scholarship is built into training through 4.5 months of protected elective time beginning PGY-2, longitudinal faculty mentorship, and named fellowship pathways (International EM, Ultrasound, Medical Education, Simulation), positioning graduates for both academic and community leadership roles. The program explicitly foregrounds health equity, social drivers of health, and a "Clinician Plus" mentorship model that treats scholarly identity—research, education, advocacy, or global health—as integral to the resident experience rather than optional add-on.
