Welcome to USF Emergency Medicine at Tampa General Hospital!
The Division of Emergency Medicine has been an academic unit within the College of Medicine since 2003. 20 years later, we are undergoing an exciting time of growth. While we have been a Department of Emergency Medicine at our main hospital site for many years, we are now transitioning to a full department at the University of South Florida. In addition, the University of South Florida is now part of the prestigious American Association of Universities and is a top ranked public institute. As our division grows into a department and our University continues to gain preeminent status, our faculty have become national experts, leading emergency medicine by providing high quality clinical care and innovating new approaches to health care delivery through research and implementation science.
Tampa General Hospital is the main USF partner in a large, expanding and cohesive academic healthcare system that provides care to millions of people in the West Gulf Coast Region of Florida. Our division provides medical director of the main TGH ED, as well as two free standing facilities in the area. While the majority of EM training will occur at TGH, the footprint of the EM program has expanded to include prehospital/EMS care delivery in the City of Tampa, as well as Pinellas County, Florida Poison Control, faculty collaborations with the VA, CAMLS (our simulation center), and Tampa Bay Street Medicine/IDEA Exchange.
In addition, through formal programs and faculty networks, interdisciplinary opportunities exist across the USF campus in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences (Anthropology), Business, and Public Health. As a mature academic health care system, USF offers exposure across almost all medical specialties.
