Research

Our residency has a long history and continued commitment to excellent emergency medicine research. Each of our residents completes at least one scholarly project during their training, and each year several are able to present their work at regional and national conferences. Our stellar research faculty mentor residents from the beginning of residency with formal education on research methodology, through the completion of each of their projects. The department and institution provide significant resources towards that end. The emergency department has a full time research nurse manager who oversees a research staff of 7 people, two of which are based at our community hospital in Troy, Michigan. The research institute provides necessary support (IRB, contracts, statistics, etc.) to conduct small or large scale research.

Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital is proud of its research excellence and is active at both Royal Oak and Troy campuses, which provide care for approximately 230,000 patients annually. The focus of our clinical research is on cutting edge interventions which evaluate and treat the critically ill and injured patient. We are unique in that our research studies are performed not only within our four walls, but in different venues including the community, local emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, and inpatient services. There are basic science labs and biobank available, but we currently do not have any ongoing basic science research.

The scope of emergency research is broad, ranging from long-term outcomes after minor injury to resuscitative care for cardiac arrest patients to comatose patients who are revived from cardiac arrest.

Our researchers have expertise in resuscitation, EMS, ultrasound, pediatrics, geriatrics, medical education, and process improvement. Our clinical researchers coordinate over 25 clinical trials, including physician-initiated single center studies and industry/NIH sponsored multi center trials.

Active research

Current trials by our staff are focused on a number of different topics. They include:

Dr. Robert Swor

Predictors of adverse outcome after minor traumatic injury; Telemedicine application of palliative care for patients with advanced severe disease; Optimal method of sedation for patients post cardiac arrest; SaveMi Heart-A statewide initiative to double cardiac arrest survival in Michigan; Evaluating bystander actions during a cardiac arrest; Evaluating emergency care of the cancer patient; Participation in the NIH funded SIREN Network.
