Emergency Medicine Jobs

The popularity of NBC’s long-running television show “ER” is testament to America’s fascination with emergency medicine. Doctors who specialize in emergency medicine thrive on the relentless pace, the wide variety of patients and cases, and the challenge of making an accurate determination quickly.
A hospital’s emergency department (ED) can be a chaotic place. Some patients come to the ED with serious and even life-threatening symptoms, adding urgency to the doctor’s decision making process.
The doctors and nurses on staff must quickly prioritize incoming cases to ensure that patients with the most serious conditions are seen as soon as possible – a process known as triage, or “worst first.”
Physicians in the ED take a medical history, examine the patient, decide which tests to order, make a differential diagnosis and determine whether to admit the patient to the hospital or treat him and send him home. Long shifts with heavy case loads of often critically ill patients can make working in the ED one of the most stressful jobs in health care. But for doctors who enjoy solving “medical mysteries” at breakneck pace, emergency medicine can be an exciting and rewarding career.
