About the Department
In existence for over thirty years, the Emergency Medicine program at
the University of Chicago has a distinguished history, playing a
leadership role in the development of pre hospital emergency care in the
city of Chicago, serving as \'medical control\' for the Chicago South
EMS System, initiating the city\'s only hospital-based aeromedical
transport system, serving as a level I trauma center for the care of
injured children, and becoming one of Chicago\'s \'leadership
hospitals\' in disaster and terrorism preparedness. Recently the Section
has also supported the development of the highly collaborative Emergency
Resuscitation Center focused on sudden cardiac death and equally
creative work in health services research, which together have made the
section one of the premier emergency medicine research programs in the
country. We are currently in the process of supporting initiatives in
medical informatics, patient safety, international health, and EMS
research.
The Section is also home to one of the country\'s oldest emergency
medicine residency training programs, and the education of house staff
and medical students remains among our highest priorities. We invite you

diversity. These missions are supported by exceptional faculty and
trainees in the department.

unparalleled, comprehensive and innovative patient care. The
Department\'s clinical excellence is continually recognized by the

sub-specialty practices are recognized as programs of national,
regional, and local distinction for our novel diagnostic and therapeutic
patient care offerings.
The Department of Medicine has a long and proud history of research and
discovery in the basic, clinical and translational sciences. Currently,
the Department of Medicine is among an elite group of medical centers
who are leading in the discovery and delivery of personalized medicine.
Our impressive pool of talented researchers is renowned for bridging the
bench to the bedside, and clinical research evaluations of new drugs and
