The Department of Emergency Medicine is home to a nationally recognized research program in both clinical and laboratory aspects of emergency medicine. Only 6 years old, our academic department receives over $2 million annually in extramural funding from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Defense, and Transportation.

Our goals are these:
• To conduct research that will improve the care of our patients
• To sustain an environment in which our faculty may successfully pursue their research interests
• To foster the development of the next generation of emergency medicine investigators through training programs for undergraduate, medical student, graduate student, resident, fellow, and post-doctoral scientists.
• To extend national research service and leadership through activities with professional organizations, academic groups and governmental groups.
