Emergency Medicine Physician Jobs in Pennsylvania

An Emergency Medicine Physician plays a crucial role in the healthcare industry by providing immediate medical attention to patients with acute illnesses or injuries. They manage a wide range of medical, surgical, and psychiatric emergencies, making quick decisions to resuscitate and stabilize patients. They coordinate with other healthcare professionals for further management, follow-up care or admission of patients. Emergency physicians are also involved in disaster medicine, pre-hospital emergency care, and performing procedures like intubations, central line placements, fracture reductions, and others.

Important skills for this role include excellent problem-solving skills, ability to work under pressure, strong interpersonal skills, and proficiency in procedural techniques. Certifications in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) are often required. Before becoming an Emergency Medicine Physician, a person may have roles such as Medical Intern, Resident in Internal Medicine or General Surgery, or a Fellow in Emergency Medicine. To be eligible for board certification in Emergency Medicine, they need to complete a residency in Emergency Medicine after obtaining a medical degree.
