Program Description
Saint Vincent Osteopathic Emergency Medicine Residency Program provides the resident with the necessary experience, knowledge, guidance and skills to become a complete emergency physician in the osteopathic tradition. The emergency department at Saint Vincent has 22 beds, with a separate 12–bed fast–track unit, all with mobile monitoring capability, in–room radiography, and the department’s own ultrasound machine.
The Saint Vincent Emergency Department is the busiest in the area, serving approximately 72,000 patients per year. Saint Vincent serves as the region’s SANE program (Sexual Assault Nurse Extender), with a private crisis treatment room and trained forensic nurses on call 24 hours per day. We are also the region’s main psychiatric center and an official DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team) for the Department of Homeland Security, to be deployed nationally in times of disaster.
The Emergency Department is covered by 15 full–time residency–trained attending physicians who are AOBEM– or ABEM–certified or eligible. In addition, the fast-track area is covered by two physicians who are board–certified in family medicine. Our rotations include Trauma rotations at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pediatric rotations at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and Toxicology with the inpatient program at Pinnacle Hospital.
