Introduction
With the plan to deliver high quality and patient centric emergency care, the management started the department of Emergency Medicine in 2013. Soon, an MCI recognized, associated post graduate training programme was also initiated under the wing of the department with the first batch of MD Emergency Medicine starting in 2014.
The methodology of care delivery is guided by the core principle of Emergency Medicine: “Treat first that kills first.” The academic programme is run in a way that right from the beginning the residents under training learn to think in an algorithmic manner. Their modus operandi is based on the framework provided by the time tested and dynamically updated strategies from ATLS, ACLS, PALS and NALS, which all the post graduate residents are expected to be certified with before the completion of their training.
The diagnostic and therapeutic approach is run in a manner which is well though yet swift, extensive yet resource efficient. Emergency Medicine acts as the unfaltering anchoring foundation on which the patients entire prognosis is built upon. Equipped with state of the art point-of-care diagnostics and easy access to advanced laboratory and radiology services, the department truly is a standing testament to what a modern day ED should be like.
Experts with a background in the fields of anaesthesia, medicine and trauma care have acted as mentors in creating a new generation of ED physicians who as young leaders taking this novel specialty to new pinnacles with great vigor and vision.
Within a few years of its conception, the department of Emergency Medicine, Dr DY Patil Medical College and Hospital, has fortified its position as a flagbearer in the field of Emergency Medicine through its exemplary clinical work, rigorous academic program and distinctive presence at National and International forums alongwith a strong emphasis on clinical research.
