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.

1

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.

2

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.

Active Retrieval

Thursday conference emphasizes interactive retrieval, small-group discussion, case-based learning, and callback/Jeopardy-style review rather than passive lecture alone.

Simulation & Resident Teaching

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

5

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.
