Mission: Our Program trains emergency medicine physicians who render competent, compassionate patient care and who contribute to the specialty of emergency medicine and the community through leadership in health care, education, and the creation of knowledge.

Vision: The Program is committed to the well-being of patients and their community.

They have the opportunity to pursue interests in clinical and didactic teaching, administration, professional societies, public health, health disparities, international health, aeromedical transport, EMS, and clinical and basic science resuscitation research in a strong academic setting. Our graduates value and promote intellectual curiosity, teaching, the advancement of knowledge, scholarship, communication and leadership skills, cultural diversity, service to others, camaraderie, personal growth and wellness.
