Department of Emergency Medicine Research
Welcome to the West Virginia University Department of Emergency Medicine Research website. We promote, teach, and incorporate Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) principles in all of our scholarly activities, and utilize an EBM format in our monthly journal club meeting. We strive to provide our residents and faculty with a diverse set of research opportunities that meet our diverse interests. We also collaborate with an internationally recognized Center for Rural Emergency Medicine and Injury Control Research Center that provides unique public health/injury prevention research opportunities. Our residents and faculty have extensively studied the following research topics:
Facilities/Resources We have full time research support in the Department to assist you in all aspects of the research process including study design, Institutional Review Board protocol development and submission, data collection, data analysis, and presentation/publication of study results. We also have access to five years of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) and 15 years of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) with Departmental staff available full time to analyze this data using SAS and SUDAAN software. A 12,000 square foot WVU Clinical Simulation Center is currently being constructed with a completion date of Fall 2009 planned that will present many new opportunities in this growing field of educational research.
