Residency is a time of exponential learning and how better to supplement this learning then by moonlighting and applying everything you learn to real-world patient care. With my personal interests in urgent care - emergency medicine, I am able to further expand my scope of education and clinical experience with EPA. Their courteous staff has a genuine understanding of "the resident" schedule, and truly work with the resident in scheduling hours that best fit our busy schedule. With multiple locations and friendly ER staff, EPA offers excellent clinical opportunities that challenge me as a physician and makes transition to real life practice a wonderful experience.

Working with EPA as a resident has allowed me to broaden my educational experiences by working in small town emergency departments in Iowa. Through these opportunities, I have gained a greater degree of confidence for disease recognition and treatment. These experiences and the skills gained will serve me well when I join a rural primary care clinic this summer.

Dr. Scott Maanum

When I was in my family practice residency, moonlighting gave me valuable experience. It helped me gain confidence in my clinical skills, and it helped me learn how to manage patient flow in a busy emergency department. (The extra income was also nice.)

I enjoyed family practice but due to a family situation and time demands I made the switch to full time emergency practice almost six years ago. I gained more control over my time while still retaining the kind of practice I enjoy. Working in small communities has the feel of family practice because I work with the same colleagues and I often know the patients I see in the emergency department.

Moonlighting is great for experience and it is an opportunity to consider full time emergency practice as a career option for you.

Dr. Darrel Forslund

EPA has been a wonderful company to work with. The application and scheduling process are very easy and the staff at EPA are with you every step of the way to accommodate your needs. They not only care about providing quality providers to their ER sites, but they care about you as a person. When inclement weather threatened my trip to a site, they insisted that I stay home so I could be safe. EPA then took the time to find a replacement for me. It was great to see such care and compassion from an organization.
