A Message from Our 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.
