The best kept secret in the South just got better. The University of Mississippi Emergency Medicine Program has changed from a 2-4 program to a 1-4 program and will take 9 residents a year.
We have a GREAT mix of patients here from penetrating trauma to advanced disease findings given our states large indigent population.
We are the ONLY Level 1 Trauma center for the state of MS seeing approx 65K adult/30K Pediatrics in the Emergency Department each year; we have a Telemedicine rotation concept covered by residents where you oversee NP/PAs at rural facilities; we also act as the medical control physician for much of the state.
Anesthesiology does not exist in the ED; all tubes are owned by EM. Trauma is 'activated' only if EM feels the need, EM is completely involved in ALL Trauma cases. Our department is 'procedure heavy'. Central lines, arthrocentesis, sedation, intubations will all be second nature. Mutliple thoracotomies and a few cricothyroidotomies are done each year as well as an occasional post-mortem section.
Jackson, MS is the capitol and largest town in MS. The 'Jackson Metro' area has a populatinon of roughly 500K. There are several small outlying communities which provide VERY affordable housing, great shopping areas, safe crime free living, and all with less than 20 minute commutes to the hospital!
Please view our website for any additional details and specifics of our program: http://emergencymedicine.umc.edu/
The state of MS is 'doctor poor' and we do allow moonlighting which makes for multiple opportunities throughout the state with excellent compensation.
I am a PGY 3 at this program and am always happy to answer any and all questions!!
