Memorial Healthcare System, Hollywood, Florida Program

Program Identity & Fit

Memorial Healthcare System's three-year EM residency is a high-volume, high-acuity community/safety-net program built around three distinct clinical sites - Memorial Regional (Level I adult and pediatric trauma, quaternary referral center), Memorial Hospital West (bustling community ED), and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital (dedicated Level I pediatric trauma center) - giving residents unusually heavy exposure to critical care, trauma and pediatric emergency pathology within a single system. The curriculum is built around longitudinal pediatric EM integration, dedicated EMS and anesthesia blocks, and progressive POCUS training, with named PEM and Ultrasound Specialty Tracks for residents pursuing subspecialty focus. The program explicitly identifies as a public safety-net system serving "any patient, anywhere, anytime," emphasizes bedside clinical volume over formal scholarly output, and supports career development through job-placement mentorship and a strong pipeline into its own regional ED network post-residency. Structurally it prizes clinical toughness, procedural competence, and cultural fit within a tight-knit, family-oriented resident group over research productivity.
