Silence in the face of racism is unacceptable. The University of North Carolina Department of Emergency Medicine denounces racism and recognizes racism as a public health emergency. Structural barriers resulting from racism undermine the health of the people and communities we serve. We support and pledge to contribute to efforts to eliminate systemic factors perpetuating racism, discrimination, and violence. The Department of Emergency Medicine will continue to serve our community in a just and equitable manner for the betterment of health, seeking positive change for those we care for while also continually striving to improve ourselves.

We endorse statements condemning racism by national organizations representing physicians and emergency physicians (AMA, ACEP, AAEM and SAEM).

From the Chair

I am privileged to chair an innovative and dynamic group of faculty, residents, fellows, nurses, staff and students who are helping reshape Emergency Medicine for the growing global health care needs of the 21st century. While we are leaders in advancing medical science with over $10 million annually in extramural research grants and a remarkable track record of educational innovations, we always keep patient care at the heart of everything we do. I welcome your interest in our exceptional department, our programs and our people.
