Fostering Better Emergency Medicine Research

The Department of Emergency Medicine practices an integrated approach of research and clinical care which creates a critical pathway to better patient care both in and out of the hospital.

Our Mission is to foster a research environment which reflects our commitment to creating innovative, affordable systems of care, ultimately improving patient health and their healthcare experience.

Currently, the department is participating in over 60 different research projects, which include several multicenter clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies.

The Department of Emergency Medicine routinely collaborates with iREACH, the Virtual Education and Simulation Technologies (VEST) Center, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care, Cardiology, Department of Medicine, and the Department of Family Medicine. We are also an active site for the networks NIH StrokeNet and Strategies to Innovate Emergency Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN).

Key areas of interest include:

EMS.
Emergency Ultrasound.
Sepsis.
Stroke.
Operational.
Medical Student and Resident Education.

Clinical Investigators

Under the leadership of the Emergency Medicine Chair, Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director and Director of Emergency Medicine Research, our Academic Faculty serve as principal investigators and advisors to the residents while working on both departmental research and multi-center trials. Residents have the opportunity to participate in cutting edge science while being mentored by an experienced physician investigator. Our faculty and residents are often selected to present their completed research projects at national forums such as Society of Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).

Research efforts are supported by administrative staff and certified clinical research nurse coordinators. For more information, contact Kathleen Murphy, BSN, RN, CCRC, 302-733-4150.
