The department includes 16 full-time faculty (including six fully-affiliated faculty who are financially supported by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center), one part-time faculty and more than 100 voluntary clinical faculty. All maintain active teaching roles in the residency. The Emergency Medicine Residency is an integrated program, supported by area hospitals including The Children's Medical Center of Dayton, Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center, Greene Memorial Hospital, Kettering Memorial Hospital, Miami Valley Hospital and Wright-Patterson Medical Center. The residency currently supports 42 residents in a R1-R3 format. It has two one-year fellowships: an ACGME Approved Fellowship in Sports Medicine and a freestanding Fellowship in Faculty Development for those interested in training to become faculty in academic emergency medicine. The department recently created a Homeland Emergency Learning and Preparedness (H.E.L.P.) Center that has offered National Disaster Life Support courses, WMD Radiological/Nuclear Awareness Training and Mass Fatalities Incident Response Planning Courses. Physicians and students affiliated with the department also have collaborated in the Adventure Summit and Wilderness Medicine Expos at Wright State each year since 2001. Some past presentations from the free, public event are available on this site. The department has an active research program with an emphasis in neuroscience, pre-hospital care and education. Two new simulation centers (medical and pre-hospital) support the educational programs and educational research. Extramural funding has come from the NIH, NASA, AHA, ODH and private foundations.
