WVU Emergency Medicine proudly introduces the class of 2023
Even in the wake of this national COVID-19 crisis, WVU Emergency Medicine enthusiastically welcomes its new Emergency Medicine Residency Class—the Class of 2023. Although we had to forego our typical group gathering and live “in-person” reveal, we celebrated the reveal of our new class of 10 residents on 3/20/20 with a Zoom reveal with our group and a Zoom chat with our new resident colleagues later that afternoon. After screening nearly 800 applications and interviewing approximately 190 applicants, we have welcomed the perfect 10 EM applicants to join our WVU Emergency Medicine family. The Residency Leadership Team is very appreciative of our current group of EM residents and faculty members that worked so diligently to recruit this amazing new class.
