Our faculty, residents, fellows, students, and interdisciplinary collaborators lead research that advances emergency and acute care across the healthcare continuum. From improving patient safety and healthcare operations to expanding access to emergency services, shaping public policy, advancing medical education, and strengthening EMS systems, our work addresses some of the most important challenges facing patients today.

As an academic department within VCU Health, we are committed to translating research into measurable improvements in quality, equity, efficiency, and patient outcomes while fostering the next generation of clinician-investigators and healthcare leaders.
