Our department has grown from the commitment of our faculty to our primary departmental missions: the education of students, residents, and post graduate fellows, the conduction and promotion of the highest quality scientific research, and the provision and supervision of superior patient care in the Emergency Department of The Ohio State University Medical Center.
The College of Medicine at Ohio State has one of the largest medical school enrollments in the nation. Our faculty teach students at all levels of training and direct many important medical school courses. Residents from other departments learn Emergency Medicine under the supervision of our senior residents and faculty attending staff. Our faculty members are excellent emergency physicians, many of whom are nationally recognized authorities on Emergency Medicine and its subspecialties.
Scientific research has always been an important priority in our department. Our department strongly supports the medical research efforts of our faculty, our residents and our fellows. The results of investigations conducted in our departmental laboratories have made considerable additions to our core of knowledge regarding resuscitation and hemorrhagic shock. In addition our faculty have conducted important studies in toxicology, cardiac ischemia, behavioral emergencies, and disaster planning. Important clinical studies are underway in areas including infectious diseases, ultrasound, geriatrics, Emergency Medical Services, and cardiac imaging.
We realize that excellent patient care and excellent teaching are closely entwined. Residents assume greater degrees of responsibilities for patient care as they progress through the program. Over three years our residents acquire the skills and judgment needed for the immediate care of the seriously ill or injured. Faculty members carefully supervise all patient care in the department and consultation is readily available from virtually any other specialty service in our University Medical Center complex. As an integral part of this department our residents have the opportunity to prepare for an academic or clinical career while becoming highly capable emergency physicians.
