This means that we get so much hands-on experience doing procedures like fracture/dislocation reductions, complex laceration repairs, ENT procedures, and advanced eye exams. Another huge draw is our pediatric training. We get longitudinalexposure to pediatrics with the opportunity to see kids during each emergency department shift.
