The Department of Emergency Medicine has a rich history of clinical and
bench-top research. In 1988, the Emergency Medicine Research Program was
formalized with William H. Cordell, MD (Methodist EM Class of 1980) serving
as Research Director. Over the past 15 years, the department has developed
numerous areas of research excellence including acute pain control, clinical
toxicology, wound care, emergency medical informatics, EMS, helicopter
transport, ergonomics, mass gathering medicine and geriatrics.
In
1996, Methodist Hospital merged with Riley and University Hospitals on
the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSOM) campus. In July
of 1999, the IUSOM created the Department of Emergency Medicine to span
the
two largest ED’s in the state of Indiana; The Methodist Emergency
Medicine and Trauma Center (EMTC) and the Wishard Memorial Hospital Emergency
Department. With this new paradigm the Emergency Medicine Research Program
was replaced by the Division of Research
.
The
Division of Research continues to thrive as a strong research faction
with a combination of experience and youth. In April of 2002, Dr. Rawle
A. Seupaul was appointed the Assistant Director for Clinical Research.
