Benefits

In addition to the employee resources offered by Augusta University, the Department of Emergency Medicine offers its residents several other benefits, including:

• Research Dollars: When original research is presented at a regional or national conference, the department will pay for air travel, meeting registration, and one night in a hotel to encourage scholarly work.
• Resident Retreat: All residents are provided a 24-hour protected period during the Spring of each year to review the state of the residency and engage with their co-residents and program leadership. The residency provides funds for a venue, group activity, and a catered lunch.
• Regional or National Meeting Participation: In addition to the research dollars discussed, all residents are expected to attend one regional or national meeting during their 3 years with our program, even if they are not able to present research. To encourage meeting participation, conference registration, hotel, and airfare will be covered by the department. Historically, residents often choose to attend ACEP in their EM3 year as a class, but the meeting choice is up to each resident.
