Welcome to the Division of Emergency Medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine/Jackson Memorial Medical Center. Located in the heart of the medical center, the Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Care Center is a high volume, high acuity emergency department that offers a full range of patient services. As a training department, the division insures that emergency medicine physicians-in-training and residents receive academic and preparation. The clinical preparation is conducted at the Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Care Center.

Emergency medicine clinicians represent a team of specialists that participate in direct patient care that provides care for emergencies that range from acute-severe- life-threatening trauma, to pediatric care and adult medical care. In their role as educators the faculty use experiences in the emergency department to serve as a rich educational environment for residents, medical students and emergency medical technicians. Academically, our faculty are researchers, with a variety of areas of focused expertise, such as toxicology, pediatric emergency medicine, out-of-hospital emergency care, and emergency cardiac care.
