Open Emergency Medicine Positions

I recently heard about two open EM positions – one PGY-2 and one PGY-3 – at the University of Michigan and Harbor-UCLA, respectively, starting July. (The positions were open at the time or this writing, but I cannot guarantee how long they will be available, of course.) The information I have is public, but I suspect some candidates might have trouble accessing it.

For Michigan, the administration will consider both EM trainees who have completed a year of residency or trainees from other disciplines at ACGME accredited residencies. Contact is bkulp@med.umich.edu.

For UCLA-Harbor, candidates must have completed their PGY2 year in a 1-3 program or their third year in a 1-4 program or 2-4 program before July 1. Contact is fernandez@emedharbor.edu.

Regarding Previously-Open General Surgery Residency Slots

I’ve received a few emails recently asking whether there are still open General Surgery residency slots at Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center (Southern California), a tip I mentioned in a March blog entry. Unfortunately, my contact says there is no funding for more slots and thus, the only applicants who might be considered now would be orphans (residents whose programs have folded and thus come with their own funding). Sorry for the news.

Open General Surgery Residency Slots

I just received a tip that the General Surgery Department at Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center (Southern California) was just approved for a residency program to start this July. The institution is seeking to fill four spots for each year, PGY 1-5. Although new programs have drawbacks, this might be a good opportunity for those who are late in the process or have deficiencies that would typically limit their candidacy.

Contact me for assistance.
