Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH) in collaboration with George Washington University (GWU), USA, has launched this academic program for aspirants in the emerging postgraduate specialty of Emergency Medicine since 2012. This is the first such endeavour in the Western India, opening up career options for MBBS graduates to pioneer in the field of Emergency Medicine.

Emergency Medicine is a relatively new specialty that is expanding at a phenomenal pace throughout the globe. In India, few post-graduate programs have been initiated at a limited number of institutions, but an enormous critical need still exists to train many more Emergency Physicians for the nation's large demand for these healthcare providers.

KDAH at Mumbai has partnered with the GWU, Washington DC, USA, to launch a

Three Year Post Graduate Program in Emergency Medicine. The two institutions will train and prepare these residents to practice in the complex and challenging area of emergency medicine at the highest levels. Through an on-going presence of faculty from Ronald Raegan Institute of Emergency medicine (RRIEM) / GWU at KDAH, the program will prepare a new generation of leaders who will expand the field of Emergency Medicine throughout India. At the successful conclusion of the program, the graduating residents will be able to practice independently within emergency departments as well-trained physicians, and they will receive an ‘International Certificate of Successful Completion of Three Year Post Graduate Masters Program in Emergency Medicine’ from the GWU and KDAH.

The first batch of 14 students enrolled in 2012 (Class of 2015) is undergoing a vigorous clinical training at this tertiary care center under the guidance of local and visiting faculty from GWU.

Through this program, we plan to train candidates in advanced cardiac, trauma, pediatric life support, disaster medicine and emergency medical services, so that the candidates can successfully and independently practice as emergency physicians. Research in the field of EM is our high priority and we will provide all resources necessary to conceive and conduct high quality research that can translate into health benefits to the community.
