Welcome to the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We train tomorrow's leaders in emergency medicine to positively affect the lives of patients and to expand our specialty's contributions to patient care.
Our department's emphasis on education is fundamental. Our 75 full-time, board-certified faculty members include some of the world’s most accomplished clinicians, teachers, researchers, and leaders in emergency medicine. Our faculty's interests are wide-ranging: emergency care, cardiopulmonary and brain resuscitation, clinical toxicology, prehospital care, emergency medical services, disaster preparedness and response, international medicine, use of ultrasound in the emergency department (ED), and the incorporation of simulation into medical education. I am personally committed to our faculty development program, urging faculty members to explore their academic interests by promoting collaborative efforts on interdepartmental projects and initiatives.
The Department of Emergency Medicine has a proud history of serving communities in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Our faculty provides patient care at 4 hospital EDs in downtown Baltimore: University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) , Baltimore VA Medical Center , UMMC Midtown Campus , and Mercy Medical Center . In addition, we have a community emergency medicine network at 9 hospitals statewide. These sites provide outstanding clinical education opportunities for our residents and medical students, with ED volumes of:
Our urban location provides a fast-paced and challenging environment for learning and clinical practice. Enriched with the state-of-the art technology and cutting-edge academic resources available to us as part of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, we offer comprehensive training in emergency medicine. Our educational responsibilities have our highest commitment. We are shaping the future of emergency medicine in the United States and abroad.
I welcome your interest in our department, and I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our dynamic clinical and educational programs.

Physician scientists at the University of Maryland Department of Orthopaedics are involved in more than 17 orthopedic clinical trials and grants totaling $45 million. The Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research currently has the department ranked third in funding for orthopedic departments of public medical schools.
Read details below about our current clinical studies and research grants.
Practice-changing orthopedic research.
PREVENT CLOT : Supported by $12 million in funding from PCORI and led by Robert V. O'Toole , MD, the "PREVENT CLOT" trial is the largest orthopedic trauma trial ever, as it evaluated 12,211 patients with pelvic, acetabular, or extremity fractures treated operatively. It demonstrated that thromboprophylaxis with aspirin was noninferior to low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin) in preventing death at 90 days. (N Engl J Med. 2023 Jan 19;388(3):203-13 PMID 36652352)
PREP-IT : A three-part trial supported by $15 million in funding from PCORI and the Department of Defense, and led by Gerard P. Slobogean , MD, compares preoperative antiseptics in more than 10,000 patients undergoing fracture surgery. The first trial, Aqueous-PREP (Lancet 2022; 400 (10360): 1334–44 PMID 36244384), found aqueous 10% povidone-iodine or 4% chlorhexidine gluconate have similar efficacy for skin antisepsis in adults receiving surgical fixation for open fractures. The two remaining PREP-IT trials will be submitted for publication in 2023.
Natalie L. Leong , MD, was awarded this career development award $1.6 million over five years to study the role of perivascular stem cells in ligament and tendon healing.
Natalie L. Leong , MD, is the principal investigator for the $225K research award "Therapeutic Application of Perivascular Stem Cells to Rotator Cuff Repair" from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF).
A 980-patient randomized trial supported by a $2.5 million grant from the Department of Defense and led by Robert O'Toole , MD, demonstrated that intrawound vancomycin powder substantially reduces gram-positive bacterial infections in high-risk tibial plateau and pilon fractures. (JAMA Surgery 2021 May 1;156(5):e207259 PMID 33760010)
The Department is co-leading an international, multicenter randomized controlled trial of 1,100 patients comparing accelerated surgery to standard care in hip fracture patients presenting with elevated troponin levels. The trial is supported by a $4 million National Institutes of Health grant with Gerard P. Slobogean , MD as the principal investigator.
The MOR was established by R. Frank Henn III , MD to comprehensively assess post-surgical outcomes and was supported by $1 million in funding from the James L. Kernan Endowment Fund. More than 4,500 patients have been enrolled and it has led to over 30 publications.
Nathan N. O'Hara, PhD, and Robert V. O'Toole, MD, have been approved for a $300,000 funding award by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to disseminate and implement research findings from the PREVENT CLOT trial, which is based on preventing blood clots in fracture patients. Even the most impactful findings from clinical research studies can take years to make it into widespread clinical practice. Cutting that lag time and smoothing the path to uptake is the focus of this PCORI-funded project.
Mohit N. Gilotra , MD was awarded $1.8 million over four years to study pharmacologic inhibition of muscle fatty infiltration.
