Question

How do you become an ER Doctor? what are ER Doctors medical name or professionl name?

Answer 1

Resident physicians, in specialty training for the specialty of Emergency Medicine, provide a large portion of the medical care in university hospital ED's. They are supervised by ABEM board certified attending physicians. The chief resident (chosen by the university faculty) is often the best all-around resident, universally thought of as the most talented resident physician.

Answer 2

We call our specialty "Emergency Medicine" and so we are "Emergency Medicine physicians, or specialists."

You have to go to medical school for 4 years after college. Then you need to do a residency in Emergency Medicine which is 3 or 4 years depending on what program you choose.
