He was selected as chief resident in his final year and subsequently completed a fellowship in emergency ultrasound.In addition to his numerous publications, he became program director of the prestigious emergency medicine residency at North Shore/LIJ-Zucker School of Medicine in 2014. As program director, Dr. Nelson has selected and trained hundreds of EM physicians, both DO and MD, over his career.  By reputation, both medical students and residents feel that their love of emergency medicine was fostered by Dr. Nelson and feel that their training would not be complete if he were not there to guide them in their training. Today, Dr. Nelson will not only shed light on his personal path to success but also give insight into what a residency looks for, particularly for osteopathic students, especially with the new changes recently instated by the NBME and USMLE.
