Mission Statement The International Division promotes the advancement of emergency medicine through educational collaboration. The division supports the goal of specific training in emergency medicine as a unique, independent discipline and is working to help other countries obtain specialty recognition. The division recognizes cultural differences and seeks to adapt our emergency medicine models to each unique project partnership.

Emergency medicine providers serve at the frontline of the healthcare system. As such, they play an important role in public health through patient education, linking patients to longer-term primary care, and serving as the safety net for disenfranchised, vulnerable populations. Our collaborative projects seek to elaborate locally sustainable emergency medical systems that provide a high level of care to patients in need. The International Division utilizes the strengths and talents of all of the other divisions in the Department of Emergency Medicine.

It is supported by SUNY Downstate, Kings County Hospital, and the non-profit organization. As such, educational collaborations are offered in the areas of: curriculum development, residency education, emergency medical triage, disaster preparedness and management, emergency ultrasound, medical simulation, pediatric emergency medicine, toxicology, violence prevention, geriatrics, emergency department administration, and pre-hospital systems development.
