Scholarly Activity & Research

Welcome to the Emergency Department website for scholarly activity. We have developed several focused areas of investigation that include ED Operations, Emergency Medical Services, Toxicology, Ultrasound, Medical Student and Resident Education, Resuscitation, and Social Emergency Medicine. These areas build upon active collaborations with the Departments of Medicine, Cardiology, Critical Care, Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Rheumatology, Radiology, and Family Medicine and Community Health. They also include connections with the New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS), the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), Rutgers School of Public Health, Rutgers - University Center for Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response and Rutgers - Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research.  

Additionally, we participate in national emergency medicine research networks such as Strategies to Innovate Emergency Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN) and Comprehensive Oncologic Emergencies Research Network (CONCERN).
