Our Emergency Departments treat more than 250,000 patients annually, and hold Level 1 Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center designations. NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center serves as the receiving center for the busiest burn unit in the country, the William Randolph Hearst Burn Center. In addition, our affiliations with the Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital lend unparalleled breadth to the academic, research, and clinical experiences for our emergency medicine residents.
We have an engaged, and productive faculty who are leaders in the field, and who are committed to training the next generation of emergency physicians. They are fellowship trained and subspecialists in areas such as medical education, ultrasound, medical toxicology, pediatric emergency medicine, geriatrics, wilderness medicine, global health, informatics, simulation, telemedicine, and more.
Equally as important as the world-class training and education, is the supportive community atmosphere.
