Originally Angels Memorial's ER Residency Director. She is a no-nonsense doctor who doesn't particularly care for hospital protocol when a patient's life is on the line.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Her first season character arc focuses on her coming to terms with her family's deaths and opening up to other people.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Averted. She expects her residents to jump in and handle horrific trauma cases from day one but she is also with them at every step, quizzing and guiding them through the various procedures and making sure no one is making any mistakes.
* TrainingFromHell: Everyone recognizes her as a very tough teacher who puts immense pressure on her residents. While Neal complains about it, Dr. Taylor brushes him off because her methods produce good doctors.

The ER's senior charge nurse. Everyone heavily relies on him for his experience and junior staff are expected to listen to his guidance. Doctors who try to throw their weight around with him quickly learn why they shouldn't.
A senior attending physician in the ER. He is a much calmer presence, in direct contrast to Rorish, and prefers to take a more fatherly approach to mentoring the residents.
* AffectionateNickname: He dubs Angus "Young Squire" while giving the younger man a friendly pep talk.

to:
A resident at Angels Memorial. She is near-perpetually cheerful and is eager to show off her knowledge and skills.
* LipstickLesbian: She's openly gay and apparently the only character with a social life outside of work.

Angus Leighton
A resident at Angels Memorial. He was originally meant for a psychiatric residency but used family connections to switch to emergency medicine, a choice he occasionally regrets. He slowly gains more confidence as a physician.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: This is how he feels towards his brother Mike, a well-regarded doctor who went through the same residency program. Mike, for his part, thinks that Angus can do just as well and wants his younger brother to become more self-assertive.
* {{Nepotism}}: He asked his father, a member of the hospital's board, to get him a ER residency. It is a decision he occasionally finds himself regretting.

Added DiffLines:
A resident at Angels Memorial. Much more aloof than his colleagues who prefers to do things his way and steamrolling anyone who gets in his way. He slowly begins to loosen up.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He admits to having had a rough childhood, saying that his parents were neglectful and he didn't have much as a child. He bonds with a patient over this because they both share a burning resentment of circumstances beyond their control and worked immensely hard to get away from their pasts.

Added DiffLines:
Angels Memorial's Director of Emergency Medicine. He doesn't particularly care for his people's personal problems because he expects them to focus on the work at hand rather than any drama and because he has more pressing budgetary and political issues to deal with.
Added DiffLines:
Dr. Rorish's replacement as ER Residency Director. He went through Rorish's infamous training but is, himself, a much friendlier teacher than his mentor. He is also Angus Leighton's older brother.
!!Dr. Ed Harbert
A member of Angel Memorial's board of directors. He was originally a ER doctor and claims to have kept his certifications up to date.
