Annual Report

Department of Emergency Medicine
Office of the Vice-Chairman

Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to present the FY07 annual report for Department of Emergency Medicine (ED) at the UMDNJ-RWJMS New Brunswick Campus. While this department academically reports to Dr. Michael Chansky at the UMDNJ-RWJMS Camden Campus, its clinical and administrative functions are located entirely at the New Brunswick Campus. Our physicians see patients exclusively at our affiliate partner, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH).

In Fiscal Year 2007, the Emergency Department continued to see high patient volumes despite transitioning 18-20 year olds to the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics. Our second year has been one of building our clinical capacity with full time physicians and laying the groundwork for the development of our academic and teaching enterprises. To that end we obtained permission to begin an EMS elective and our EMS/Disaster Medicine Fellowship program was approved by the GME committee. We look forward to solidifying our academic activities in the next year with more electives and the mandatory fourth year student rotation while we pursue the establishment of a residency program in New Brunswick. 

Several of our faculty members were either certified or recertified as Diplomates of the American Board of Emergency Medicine. Fully 100% of our attending physicians are either Board Certified or Board Eligible. Continued development of our faculty as full academic physicians is one of our key goals for the coming year.
