As Chair, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our Emergency Medicine web-portal at Penn State Hershey. I sincerely hope that you find these web-pages useful and informative. We are dedicated and proud to provide the best possible patient care, respecting the individual's background and needs. We endeavor to provide evidence based education and decision making. We believe that innovation is strongly linked to improvements in patient care and research findings. Daily, we are involved in our community through our dedicated Life Lion Emergency Medical Services staff in their provision of care and safe transport. We see ourselves as team members, importantly linked to our Nursing, technical and support staff, in all that we do clinically. Details on our academic missions of teaching and research include pages for the medical student interest group, EM residency training, fellowships, faculty, and programmatic efforts in our clinical research foci. My thanks for viewing our pages and if you have any thoughts you would like to share, please send me an email: tterndrup@hmc.psu.edu
