The Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas is a newly created department which brings the full spectrum of trauma and emergency acute care along with groundbreaking innovation to the well-established UTMB Health facilities within the greater University of Texas System.
We are thrilled to announce that we have achieved initial accreditation and approval of our 3-year ACGME-accredited Emergency Medicine Residency Program. We will be accepting 6 residents for the academic year of 2023-2024 through the NRMP Match. All applications will be received and reviewed through ERAS.
Dietrich Jehle, MD, FACEP, RDMS serves as Program Director, Professor, and Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Dr. Jehle’s distinguished career includes numerous academic and community hospital appointments and a 27-year run as the Buffalo Bills’ Director of Emergency Medical Services. Notably, he has led the development of emergency medicine residency programs at three different academic medical centers. He is excited to begin the fourth at UTMB, making Emergency Medicine the newest addition to UTMB’s 59 current Graduate Medical Education programs.
Our mission is to improve health for the people of Texas and around the world by offering innovative education and training, pursuing cutting-edge research, and providing the highest quality patient care.
Our goal is to develop and sustain a comprehensive, academically rigorous curriculum in a tertiary, academic medical center. The program will expose residents to a broad spectrum of pathology providing them with experience in managing the breadth of conditions seen in emergency medicine. UTMB services a large portion within the upper gulf coast of Texas. In addition to UTMB Galveston, UTMB also has three additional hospitals: League City, Clear Lake and Angleton-Danbury. Our residents will rotate at all campuses allowing them a unique experience to train within an academic institution and community emergency departments while providing patient care opportunities in urban, suburban, and rural settings.
