Residents have the luxury of using the EMSTAT system to record and store their procedures over their 3 years of training. In addition, off-service procedures can be logged into a database on the New Innovations Website. With these two systems, there is no longer a need for recording procedures on paper. Below is a list of all procedures that residents must complete by the end of their EM residency training, as determined by the RRC, and beside each procedure is the minimum number to be completed, as also determined by the RRC. Our residents usually greatly surpass the required numbers.
