RESEARCH

The Emory University Emergency Medicine Department's research program is concentrated in three "laboratories" covering each of the major domains of Emergency Medicine research:

Current research initiatives include NIH-funded studies regarding the neuroprotective properties of progesterone and its metabolites, a major NIH-funded clinical trial of a novel treatment for traumatic brain injury, research on the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of directed ultrasound exams by emergency physicians, emerging infections and bioterrorism preparedness, hypertension, out-of-hospital direct to cardiac catheterization for ST elevation myocardial infarctions, congestive heart failure, end-of-life care, and strategies to deal with overcrowding in the emergency department.

Emergency Medicine faculty members are also engaged in a wide range of collaborative community projects to reduce gun violence, alcohol abuse, teenage crash deaths, falls in the elderly, and to increase the use of information technology to screen for intimate partner violence.

The Emory University Department of Emergency Medicine offers several tracks for a research fellowship. Fellows will be paired with a faculty member in the department with expertise in the fellow's research area of interest. Each fellowship track is designed to mold aspiring academic emergency physicians into clinical research scientists and nationally recognized leaders in Emergency Medicine research. Clinical research fellows join the Emory Department of Emergency Medicine as faculty members at the clinical instructor level.
