UCF NORTH FLORIDA EMERGENCY MEDICINE

Deliberate Learning. Progressive Responsibility. Built for Retention.

Our curriculum is designed around the way emergency physicians actually learn: focused content, repeated exposure, clinical application, and increasing responsibility. Systems-based teaching is integrated with simulation, small-group learning, independent resources, resident teaching, and longitudinal board preparation.

Rather than presenting five educational components as separate products, the curriculum works as a loop: organize the content, prepare before conference, retrieve it actively, apply it in simulation and teaching, then revisit it longitudinally.

  • Gold number one on black background

    Systems-Based Curriculum

    Core emergency medicine content is organized by system and delivered on a predictable schedule so residents can see the year ahead and prepare deliberately.

  • Gold number two on black background

    Prepared Learning

    Each week, residents receive the finalized conference schedule with selected articles, podcasts, and FOAMed resources — including EM:RAP, LITFL, EMCrit, and 5 Minute Sono — to review before conference.

    Simulation & Resident Teaching

    Simulation, flipped-classroom sessions, small-group scenarios, and resident educator roles reinforce clinical decision-making, communication, and teaching skills.

    Longitudinal Board Preparation

    Staggered board-review sessions revisit core material over time to strengthen retention while keeping the emphasis on high-quality emergency medicine in real-world practice.
