Message from the Vice Chair of Education

Welcome to the Education Division of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Columbia University Medical College. Our faculty are dynamic and dedicated providing outstanding education and training in Emergency Medicine to all of the learners in our Department ranging from undergraduate, graduate, and physician assistant education programs.

Our faculty are engaged in several amazing undergraduate courses such as Austere Medicine and Emergency Ultrasound. The Emergency Medicine residency spans both the Columbia and Cornell campuses and offers an exemplary clinical training at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital system. We have 84 emergency medicine residents in our 4-year training program and are so proud of the well-rounded experience, which includes mentorship from our faculty who have national subspecialty expertise.

Our department has a growing number of fellowships which include emergency ultrasound, pediatric emergency ultrasound, pediatric emergency medicine, medical education, and global emergency medicine. We are particularly proud of the Dr. Lorna M. Breen Emergency Medicine Fellowship in Healthcare Administration that honors its namesake who tirelessly worked to maintain the highest standards of care for our ED patients.
