Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM)

Overview (page 3)

The CPR-EM was established to promote several long-term goals: (1) to partner with policy-makers locally, state-wide and nationally, in identifying areas in which high-quality research can contribute to important health policy issues; (2) to increase the contribution of Emergency Medicine faculty members to important health policy issues facing our community, our state and our nation; and (3) to enhance the research activities of the Department of Emergency Medicine, seeking external funding to facilitate this goal.

In order to accomplish those goals, the department of emergency medicine's CPR-EM participates as a center within the Oregon Health Policy Institute (OHPI). OHPI is an umbrella organization containing four centers: the Substance Abuse Policy Center; the Center for Health and Disability Policy; the Center for Environmental Health Policy; and the Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine. OHPI includes faculty and staff at OHSU, PSU, and OSU. The OHPI's research productivity is highlighted by receipt of more than $22 million in grants and contracts during the last five years.

The CPR-EM offers a two-year fellowship in Emergency Medicine Health Services Research. Information about the fellowship is available at http://www.ohsu.edu/emergency/fellowship/research/index.htm
