Emergency Medicine
Children who come to the VCU Medical Center for all serious illness and trauma
receive their medical care in the Child and Adolescent Emergency
Department from the pediatric residents and faculty. This continually
updated, dynamic emergency unit is designed for the rapid assessment
and treatment of patients needing urgent care, and for the care
of other seriously ill patients. ED faculty include physicians
from the Division of General Pediatrics and Emergency Care. The
Pediatric Emergency Department includes the Virginia
Poison Center, which has a full-time staff to answer all patient calls,
and the Child Protection Team to orchestrate child abuse investigations.
