Faculty and Staff
Our faculty represent a wide range of backgrounds. All are board certified in emergency medicine, with some holding dual certifications or other advanced degrees. During their post-graduate training, many of our faculty served as chief residents, reflecting the high caliber of our attending staff. In addition to providing hands-on, 24-hour department supervision and teaching, all faculty members share a commitment to creating an atmosphere that is conducive to the advancement of our specialty.
The entire faculty is involved in the efforts of our research division. Many also serve on national committees and organizations dedicated to the growth and development of emergency medicine.
