Department Celebrates 25 Years in 2005
"Emergency Medicine Past, Present and Future"

The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first resident class and the founding of the department in June 2005.

The department was the fourth full academic Department of Emergency Medicine in the United States when it was founded in 1980. More than 250 emergency medicine physicians have graduated from the training program since that time.

The celebration included a celebration of the establishment of the department's new Homeland Emergency Learning and Preparedness (H.E.L.P.) Center to be based on the Dayton VA Medical Center campus in conjunction with Boonshoft School of Medicine. Nearly one-third of the graduates attended the festivities.
