Mission
The Bayhealth Medical Center Emergency Medicine Residency Program’s mission is to develop physicians with a vested interest in the southern Delaware community who possess outstanding clinical skills, dedication to lifelong learning and improvement, and a deep understanding of all aspects involved in the delivery of safe and effective patient care. Faculty will mentor and educate residents knowing that those residents will, in turn, take care of them and their families. While bedside practice remains the foundation of resident education, faculty will also help develop their skills through scholarly inquiry, organized learning, simulations, and evaluations. The faculty will integrate resident training with community specialists and support each resident as they establish local ties and relationships. Residents will be expected to fully participate in their education, pursue opportunities for self-improvement, be open to feedback and change, and be active, positive influences in their communities. The Emergency Medicine Residency Program will instill in the residents the mission of Bayhealth Medical Center: (1) Our Promise - Driven to bring the nation's best healthcare to our communities here at home; (2) Our Mission - Strengthen the health of our community one life at a time; (3) Vision - Deliver the nation's best healthcare to our communities here at home.
