History

The Emergency Medicine Residency Program strives to train future physicians to improve the quality of every life they touch. Our faculty, staff, and residents share the same values of teamwork, leadership, professionalism, integrity, diversity, and the ethical treatment of all humanity. Cape Fear is an active trauma, stroke, and heart center—enjoying top performer status in several of its disease specific certifications. With a unique patient mix that combines rural, urban, suburban, civilian, and military populations, we provide quality care to over 140,000 patients per year in our Adult and separate Pediatric Emergency Departments, making us the busiest Emergency Department in the state of NC and one of the top twenty in the nation. We serve as the primary referral center for multiple counties in southeastern North Carolina that have limited access to primary care. In this capacity, we see a patient population that exhibits the breadth and depth of disease usually encountered only at large inner-city academic institutions.
