WELCOME CLASS OF 2028!
Welcome to Baystate EM
ALL THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED WITH 122,000+ ED VISITS A YEAR
The best way to learn emergency medicine is by treating a lot of sick patients.
Because Baystate Medical Center is the region's tertiary referral center—and one of the highest volume emergency departments in the northeast—you will be exposed to diverse pathologies and advanced procedures. Our ED sees approximately 230 patients per day on average, with a high percentage of ESI Level 1 & 2 patients (high acuity).
We are a 3 year emergency medicine residency in beautiful Western Massachusetts. Baystate Medical Center is a Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma, STEMI, and Stroke receiving center.
The UMass Chan Medical School - Baystate EM Residency participates in the Unified Interview Release date.
OUR SCHEDULE EMPHASIZES A WORK-LIFE BALANCE
We care that our residents have a life outside of the emergency department. In fact, we want to make sure you get to enjoy your life outside of work during residency.
While you are here, you are going to work hard - but you will also have time to enjoy yourselves and pursue your interests. Our structured curriculum supports your wellness. It's why clinical assignments average less than 45 hours per week. Shifts are scheduled for 9 hours, and night shifts are scheduled in short blocks of 4-5 shifts in a row at most.
TOP-NOTCH TRAINING, TOP-FLIGHT FACILITIES
Our ED has 10 ambulance bays and a rooftop helipad, 94 private rooms, dedicated radiology suite, and plenty of work stations.
Our program focuses on helping you master bedside emergency medicine and deliver care under all conditions.
Don't miss the life of one of our former chiefs, making it all run smoothly on the night shift
Beautiful Western Mass
A question we get often is: Where do residents live?

Our Wellness
Our monthly VITALS meeting (formerly called Wellness and Resiliency Club) is a time for Residents and Attendings to wind down and discuss important topics such as how to create a CV, how to negotiate your contract, and what to do if a physician is needed on an airplane
Trivia nights will test your random knowledge and give you bragging rights in the department
The annual resident retreat allows you to bond with your fellow residents and escape the hustle and bustle of the ED
We've recently implemented a mid-year retreat as well which serves as a check-point for you to bond with your class and combat burn-out, prepare for the job search, and target training-specific issues
