OVERVIEW

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University was established as an interdepartmental division in June 1977, becoming the third U.S. medical school to establish an independent academic emergency medicine program. Since then the Department of Emergency Medicine has experienced remarkable growth in its faculty and programs, receiving full departmental status in April 1992.OHSU serves the Portland Metropolitan area as a Level I Trauma Center, Pediatric ED, Chest Pain Center, Primary Stroke Center, ED Observation Unit, and EMS Base Station Hospital.
