Welcome to the website of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the George Washington University.
We are the seventh academic Department of Emergency in the United States. The Department and its faculty and staff have been working since 1979 to expand the definition and scope of activity of Emergency Medicine practice, teaching, and research. We have developed an extensive series of educational and consulting activities described in this site that literally span the globe.
We currently provide physician and PA staffing for three hospitals, manage a hospital-based Hyperbaric/Wound Care program and have a broad range of academic and consulting activities. The Department has been divided into sections to help organize our academic focus.
