Our Story

The Johns Hopkins University Center for Global Emergency Care (CGEC) is an academic and research center that aims to provide expertise and leadership in the development of emergency care worldwide. The center, based within the Johns Hopkins Department of Emergency Medicine, coordinates efforts in global emergency care activities across The Johns Hopkins University. 

Our vision is to improve the outcomes of people affected by health emergencies by increasing access to high-quality emergency care across the globe. We aim to achieve this through collaboration with international collaborators to deliver on the tripartite mission of The Johns Hopkins University by leading emergency care initiatives in education, research, and healthcare globally. 

Our faculty has dedicated their expertise to improving patient care through research and training. We foster research and innovation, develop evidence-based education and training programs, create partnerships and strengthen emergency care systems. Not only do we push the limits on emergency medical care and innovation, we also educate the next generation of health care leaders, researchers and mentors.
