“I was moonlighting in the PRHC ED during my final year of residency, and I had a tremendous experience. The nursing, ED docs, consultants and hospital staff were all extremely welcoming and always willing to help me out. There is a great amount of acuity and clinical variety at the PRHC ED that helped expand my knowledge, skill and experience in a meaningful way. Plus, being able to use Epic as an EMR and having great access to imaging made adjusting and adapting to the department quite seamless. I felt like a valuable and important member of the department, and even got to be involved in some education initiatives for the department. I would wholeheartedly recommend the PRHC ED as a place to work!” - Former Moonlighting Resident
