• The faculty and residents care for more than 140,000 patients a year in our Emergency Departments, more than any other system in the Delaware Valley. Einstein’s main campus alone sees over 85,000 patients a year.

• The spectrum of illness is vast and the level of acuity is high at Einstein. This is exemplified by our admission rates to intensive care level settings, which is twice the national average, and an overall admission rate that is 36% higher than the national average reported by the Centers for Disease Control.

Our residents alternate responsibility for the primary management of every trauma patient with the senior residents from the Department of Surgery. Managing the airways for every trauma is the responsibility of our residents alone.

  Toxicology, Ophthalmology, Neurology, ENT, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Research, Ultrasound

• As a “Thank You” for all of their hard work, the faculty cover shifts for the residents several times a year so all can attend the Annual Resident Retreat as well as the departmental gatherings.
