Emergency Medicine
Emergency medicine provides immediate care for acute and life-threatening conditions, acting as a critical safety net in the healthcare system, often as part of a first response team. Emergency departments stabilize patients and manage a wide range of urgent issues, from trauma to severe infections. This specialty also coordinates with emergency medical services and other providers to ensure effective, continuous care. - OSPI Career Cluster Pathway Info PDF
