The Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Baystate Medical Center, the regional campus of UMass Chan Medical School, was established in 1993. We deliver outstanding education with an emphasis on balance and resident wellness.
Our residents learn outstanding clinical emergency medicine, with all the unique trauma and acute illnesses associated with a multi-cultural, inner-city population, while being able to live in a region known for outdoor recreation, performing arts and multiple institutes of higher education. As the region's tertiary care referral center, Baystate offers exposure to diverse pathology and the procedures and techniques associated with the world's most advanced medical centers. We invite you to experience everything Baystate has to offer.
