Academic Department
Our vision for the Department of Emergency Medicine (EM) Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is to be viewed externally as one of the finest if not the best academic department of emergency medicine in the nation.
Our educational programs are extraordinary.
Our young research program is progressing. While only 20% of academic departments of emergency medicine have National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, we now have two investigators with NIH career development awards and one with an NIH RO1 (its most coveted prize). Additionally we have programs funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Our involvement in the IUSM is substantial.
We play leadership roles at the campuses’ hospitals and provide medical direction for the area’s premier EMS transport service, the Indiana Poison Center, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Indy Racing League.
Three of our faculty are American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) oral examiners and one is on the ABEM Board of Directors. Faculty have served as leaders of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM), the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), the Council of Residency Directors (CORD), and the Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine (AACEM).
While less than 10% of academic departments of emergency medicine have endowed professorships we are proud that we have two such fully endowed positions (each with over $2 million dollars in principle).
