Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
History
Program Vision is to produce clinically outstanding emergency medicine physicians who can practice effectively in any ED setting from inner city to suburban to rural.
Toward that end, our training program consists of an outstanding balance of clinical rotations, didactics, simulation, and scholarly activity. As New Hampshire’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock has a breadth of expertise and an extensive referral base. In addition, with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center being a highly-acclaimed tertiary care facility in a rural setting, they have the opportunity to provide a somewhat unique spectrum of emergency care ranging from rural medicine to highly specialized services.
This unique spectrum of experiences includes inner city trauma at Maryland Shock Trauma, urban pediatric emergency medicine in Manchester, tertiary care at Dartmouth, rural emergency medicine at DH-Keene, and exposure to emergency medicine at critical access hospitals via the DHART helicopter. Their Emergency Medicine faculty is highly devoted to teaching with unique interest and expertise in resuscitation, sepsis, EMS, rural emergency medicine, telemedicine, international emergency medicine, wilderness medicine, ultrasound, informatics, quality improvement and health care delivery science. In addition, two thirds of their faculty have additional graduate degrees and/or fellowship training.
