Mission Statement:
Our mission is to bridge the gap that exists between health care goals and logistical realities for our patients in the tristate area, namely existing at the interface of social determinants of health, population health, and the emergency department. 

To this end, we aim to train providers in clinical care that is excellent, efficient, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered; remain embedded in our community to better serve its members; and advocate on behalf of issues relevant to equitable patient care.

To be international leaders in the field of Social Emergency Medicine by training leaders, advocating for patients, and innovating systems that respect and impact social determinants of health via emergency care.

Values: 

• Equity

• Compassion

• Community engagement

• Patient centeredness

• Efficiency

• Intentionality

Population Health & Health Services Leadership Academy (PLA) 
The PLA offers residents dedicated leadership development and training relevant to physician careers in public health, population health, social emergency medicine, health equity, and/or global health. Participants will complete a mentored project and receive a certificate upon graduation from the academy.

EIP Resident Assistant Medical Director 
Each year, 1-2 residents are selected to serve as the Resident Assistant Medical Director(s) for the EIP program. They work collaboratively with program administration and staff to assist in operational and clinical program development and implementation.
