The Division of Emergency Medicine plays a vital role in providing attending physician support for the emergency department of Children's Medical Center Dallas.  We are the primary teaching faculty for medical students, residents, fellows, and other allied health professionals on the acute recognition, evaluation, and management of critically ill and traumatized children.  Our patients have a wide spectrum of medical conditions, as well as, some unique and complex problems requiring specialized care. 

We provide clinical supervision and physician coordination for the Children's Medical Center Dallas Transport/Transfer Service.  We also accept numerous referrals from many emergency departments within the Dallas County region.  

We supervise a fellowship training program in pediatric emergency medicine and play a crucial role in clinical teaching of the Pediatrics residents. 

We are actively involved in several clinical research studies designed to advance patient care and knowledge regarding asthma and other respiratory diseases, brain injury, pain management, sedation, injury epidemiology and prevention, and non-invasive monitoring.
