​​BROOKDALE EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Alumni Corner
Approximately, 25% of our program graduates have joined our ED attending staff. This retention speaks to the fulfillment that comes from serving a patient population in need and the ability to make a difference in patients’ lives, during residency and beyond.
Here are some of the reasons they chose to stay ....

Why I Stayed at Brookdale ....
"The Residents! In the past 6 years, I have seen our residents rise to the occasion during repeated disasters - from prolonged tests of resilience like COVID-19 or IT downtimes to more isolated trials like mass causality events or pediatric cardiac arrests. It is the honor and privilege of my life that I get to educate you all - the people delivering care in this arena. You consistently make me proud. I want to thank all of our residents for being the self-driven, adult learners that you are. It is not easy to learn and thrive in the crucible that is our ED. I would not walk this path with anybody but you. Stay Frosty! "
