Emergency Medicine Research
The Florida Atlantic University Department of Emergency Medicine is committed to the advancement of healthcare via research and scholarship. Our unique department has the resources of a large academic institution and is based in the community setting, where we conduct clinical research at our partner teaching hospitals.
In addition to working clinically and teaching, our core faculty also conduct research in a variety of fields, with a focus on geriatric emergency medicine. On average, our faculty each publish almost 5 peer-reviewed manuscripts annually, in addition to routinely presenting at national and international conferences.
Under the mentorship of our faculty, emergency medicine residents design their own scholarly project addressing a question related to emergency medicine prior to graduation. Each project culminates with the completion of a manuscript in a format acceptable for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Medical students are also engaged in emergency medicine research, typically beginning during the summer between M1 and M2 year.
