Are you looking to get into the emergency medicine residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which emergency medicine programs have the highest and lowest publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about emergency medicine or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming an emergency medicine physician.

Which Emergency Medicine Residency Programs Require the Most Research?

As discussed previously, matched emergency medicine applicants have some of the lowest numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.

But how many publications are expected of each emergency medicine residency? Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the right program.

Let’s look at which emergency medicine residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here reports the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)

Which Emergency Medicine Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?

Are you hoping to get into an emergency medicine residency program? Having an MD-PhD may help you stand out, but it’s not always necessary.

As noted previously, having an MD-PhD is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into emergency medicine as a specialty. Note that this is a relatively small advantage (~2% match rate increase for those with a PhD vs. those without).

Check out this list of emergency medicine residency programs in the US and their MD-PhD percentages.

Emergency Medicine Programs with the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members

The emergency medicine residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • Carolinas Medical Center Program (50%)
  • University of Cincinnati Medical Center/College of Medicine Program (44%)
  • Denver Health Medical Center Program (42%)
  • Brown University Program (38%)
  • Los Angeles County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Program/Orlando Health Program (35%)

The emergency medicine residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • University of Mississippi Medical Center Program (1%)
  • St Luke’s University Hospital Program (2%)
  • OhioHealth/Doctors Hospital Program (3%)
  • University of Florida College of Medicine Jacksonville Program (3%)
  • University of Rochester Program (4%)
Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive Emergency Medicine Residency Programs?

As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into an emergency medicine residency program.

For example, the Brown emergency medicine program only had 38% of its residents with AOA memberships and only 16% with GHHS memberships. (The Brown emergency medicine program is a Rhode Island Hospital program).

So, why might some of the most competitive emergency medicine residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.

Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into an emergency medicine residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.

Concluding Thoughts

Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into emergency medicine. However, as we can see, different emergency medicine residency programs have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
