Welcome

The Stritch Department of Emergency Medicine is the academic partner of the Emergency Department of Loyola University Medical Center. Faculty care for patients, teach and mentor physicians-in-training, and conduct research.  

Collaborating within the university and outside organizations have allowed us to manage  various studies and programs benefiting patients and the emergency care field.  Our educational divisions enhance an understanding of the fields of Toxicology, Emergency Medical Services, and Disaster Medicine. Physician research interests have led to advances in the delivery and processes of care. Our research collaborations with Illinois Department of Public Health through the Emergency Medical Services for Children grants have and continue to address questions affecting the overall care of children in Illinois Emergency Departments.
