No job in clinical medicine today is more challenging than Emergency Medicine.
The hallmark of our specialty is the ability to evaluate a patient in distress with an undifferentiated complaint and quickly stabilize, treat, and disposition
Our Philosophy
Emergency Medicine is a specialty of breadth. Our scope of practice touches on almost every medical specialty. Every shift is unique as one manages a variety of patients and problems in parallel in a high tempo environment. Military emergency physicians take this one step further. Not only are we required to know how to treat civilian emergent conditions but we must also have the capability to manage high velocity rifle wounds, severe blast injuries, and other unique combat injuries that may occur in a host of extreme environments. Practicing good medicine in unconventional environments is what attracts many of us to the specialty. Military Emergency Medicine requires the ability to think on one’s feet, improvise, adapt, and overcome.
