Emergency Medicine
Children, who come to MCV 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. Faculty on the site are physicians
from the Division of General Pediatrics and Emergency Care. The
Child and Adolescent Emergency Department includes the Virginia
Poison Center, with a full-time staff to answer all patient calls,
and the Child Protection Team to orchestrate child abuse investigations.
