Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM)
Overview
The OHSU Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine's breakthrough research leads to new standards of care and a better understanding of important issues involving emergency medicine, disaster preparedness, and toxicology.
At the OHSU Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM), our mission consists of reducing inequities, including, but not limited to, those based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, religion, and disability. In particular, we acknowledge the legacy of racism that is embedded in American society and institutions, and we are actively working to be catalysts of change to dismantle these harmful structures. Our commitment involves reflecting principles of equity across all functions of our organization, including in its culture, governance, hiring practices, salaries, research areas of focus, and the conduct of our research.

We are now two years into the pandemic and have developed new workflows and new normals. What is not new is your continued willingness to serve our community through both clinical and academic excellence. Thank you—this work cannot be done without you. Our research staff who come from multiple departments are also an integral part of our mission. They may ask for your assistance with study needs and, if busy, please let them know graciously or see if they can come back another time or have someone else help (reminder: many hope to grow up and work in your shoes). We welcome feedback and your involvement to ensure high-quality studies that integrate into our clinical workflow.
