Services

Our emergency medicine teams offer comprehensive emergency and trauma services, providing you and your loved ones with high-quality, convenient care.

Education and Training

As a teaching hospital, residents from the Boston University Emergency Medicine Program complete rotations during their second and fourth years of study, allowing us to train tomorrow’s leaders through emergency medicine education. We take that responsibility seriously, staying up-to-date with the latest, most innovative diagnosis and treatment options for emergency medical services.
