Kenneth “Ken” Mwatha, MD is an attending physician practicing in the emergency department of St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended medical school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine from 2003 to 2007. In 2007, Dr. Ken Mwatha went on to attend Johns Hopkins University’s Emergency Medicine Residency Program, one of the oldest of such programs in the country.
The Emergency Medicine Residency Program focuses on providing residents the training they need to excel in all facets of emergency medicine. First-year residents undergo orientation, a lecture series, and training in a wide range of specialties including emergency medicine, trauma, cardiac intensive care, pediatric emergency care, obstetrics, and ultrasound. The training takes place via a series of rotations throughout multiple Johns Hopkins-affiliated facilities.
The second and third years build upon the skills taught over the first year. Second-year residents expand their training to include critically ill patients and specialization in EMS and hand and intensive care and pediatric anesthesia. They also assist in educating medical students. Third-year residents matriculate to the position of Senior Administrative Resident, developing the managerial, teaching and supervisory skills of a junior attending physician. Third-years also play a greater role in patient care.
The final year of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program is primarily devoted to the unique Focused Advanced Specialized Training (FAST) program, wherein each resident works under the tutelage of an advisor to develop expertise in their selected specialty.
