Department of Emergency Medicine

The DLSUMC Department of Emergency Medicine is manned 24/7 by board-certified emergency physicians to deliver acute and critical care that befits a tertiary medical center. Patients are attended to according to the internationally accepted triage classification without regard for economic status, color or creed. The vast array of ailments seen at the ER in varying stages, complemented by comprehensive modern diagnostic services, serves as a fertile ground for clinical exposure, academic learning, and skills development.

The integration of evidence-based medicine and collaboration with other clinical departments and ancillary services further enhances the delivery of emergency care. The primary goal of the residency training program is to uphold the highest standard of care, fostering the development of the knowledge, attitude, and skills necessary for physicians to provide holistic care to all individuals.
