To determine current trends in emergency medicine residency length, US emergency medicine residency directors were asked to describe their 1986-87 and 1987-88 year configurations. In January 1986, 66 of 67 residencies (98%) were contacted by phone, and 62 (94%) completed a validation form. Of the 67, 19 (28%) changed their length of training in 1987-88. ⋯ The number of programs that begin at the PGY-I level increased from 48 (72%) to 50 (74%). The Midwest region has the greatest number of residencies and the most programs of the PGY-1,2,3 configuration. The implications of this change, including new curriculum development, differing training patterns, and budget concerns, are discussed.
