U.S. Resident Curriculum
Below are the lectures for which you would be responsible during the month indicated. This is set up to mirror the requirements from a U.S. Emergency Medicine Residency over a three year period. Most participants give 3-4 lectures in a month and find that there are many requests from the physicians in Hue for impromptu lectures on various topics while you are there. There are lectures available at www.FreeEmergencyTalks.net to help you get started. If more than one physician will be in Hue while you are there, we divide up the lectures amongst you.
