Med Flight has served the upper Midwest for over 35 years and logs more than 1,700 transports per year.

  • THE SEARCH for the CHAIR, BERBEEWALSH DEPARTMENT of EMERGENCY MEDICINE Madison, Wisconsin
    THE SEARCH FOR THE CHAIR, BERBEEWALSH DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE Madison, Wisconsin The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health invites applications and nominations for the position of chair of the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine. The Opportunity Over the past decade, the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) has established an exceptionally strong financial, operational, and administrative foundation. The second chair in the department’s history will have the opportunity to lead a proven team that is poised for growth, dedicated to providing optimal and outstanding patient care for individual patients and families, and committed to developing tomorrow’s leaders in emergency medicine. Today, the department is home to more than forty faculty, including faculty with dual certification in pediatrics, critical care, and palliative care. The emergency medicine residency program welcomes 13 residents per class and has hosted up to nine fellowship programs per year. A clinically skilled and stable advanced practice provider (APP) pool is integrated seamlessly into the department, taking on a variety of learner, provider, and administrative roles. Together, the faculty, residents, and APPs staff four emergency departments (EDs): the adult and pediatrics, burn and trauma, level I ED at the University Hospital; the American Family Children’s Hospital ED; The American Center ED on the east side of Madison that is adjacent to a planned $255 million expanded hub for specialty care; and the William S. Middleton Memorial Veteran’s Hospital ED. The department’s providers deliver true emergency care as part of an operationally efficient health system. Approximately more than 90 percent of the patient market is insured, and therefore lower-acuity patients have robust urgent care centers as alternative options to the ED.
