The Department of Emergency Medicine of The Brooklyn Hospital
Center is not only dedicated to excellence in patient care, but

Emergency Medicine is guided by tenets expounded by the American
College of Emergency Physicians:
- Quality emergency care is a fundamental individual right
and should be available to all who seek it
- The best interests of the patient are served when
emergency physicians practice in a fair and supportive
environment.
- There is a body of knowledge unique to Emergency Medicine
that requires continuous refinement and development.
- Quality Emergency Medicine is best practiced by
qualified, credentialed Emergency Physicians.
- The Emergency Physician has the responsibility to play
the lead role in the definition and evaluation of quality
care.
