Welcome to the website of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University
of Maryland School of Medicine.
We train tomorrow's leaders in
emergency medicine to positively affect the lives of our patients
and to expand our specialty's contributions to patient care.
We are proud to boast of a faculty of more than 75 board-certified
or board-eligible physicians, including some of the nation’s most
accomplished clinicians, teachers, and leaders in emergency medicine.
Our faculty's interests are wide-ranging―emergency care, cardiopulmonary
and brain resuscitation, clinical toxicology, prehospital care,
emergency medical services, disaster preparedness and response,
international medicine, use of ultrasound in the emergency department,
and the incorporation of simulation into medical education. I am
personally committed to our faculty development program, urging the faculty
to explore their academic interests by promoting collaborative
efforts on interdepartmental projects and initiatives.
The Department of Emergency Medicine has a proud history of serving
communities in the Baltimore metropolitan area. In addition to
providing patient care at the University of Maryland Medical Center,
our faculty staffs the emergency departments at four hospitals
in downtown Baltimore.
These sites provide outstanding clinical education opportunities for
our residents and medical students. Collectively, our physicians oversee the
care of approximately 182,000 patients per year. Patient volume
at the University of Maryland Medical Center is approximately 46,000 per year.
Our urban location provides a fast-paced and challenging environment
for learning and clinical practice. Coupled with state-of-the art
technology and cutting-edge academic resources available to us as part of
the University of Maryland School of Medicine, we offer comprehensive training
in emergency medicine. Our educational responsibilities have our highest
commitment. We are shaping the future of emergency medicine in the United
States and abroad.
I welcome your interest in our department, and I invite you to
explore our website to learn more about our dynamic clinical and
educational programs. |
