Launching the Next Generation of Emergency Medicine Researchers
The K12 Neuro-EM Scholars Program, launched in 2024 at the University of Michigan’s Weil Institute and funded by the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, is the first national initiative designed to train early-career emergency medicine (EM) faculty in neurological research. With dedicated funding, mentorship, and a focus on high-impact research, the program supports scholars as they pursue independent research careers focused on critical, time-sensitive neurological emergencies. In its inaugural year, four scholars were selected, with additional support provided through a Pipeline Program for emerging researchers. The initiative is quickly building a nationwide community of EM physician-scientists committed to advancing care for neurological emergencies.

Pop-Up Safety Town, a community outreach initiative by the University of Michigan’s Department of Emergency Medicine in partnership with the U-M Concussion Center, brings free, hands-on injury prevention education to underserved communities across Michigan. Designed for children ages three to six, the program teaches vital safety skills, like helmet use, medication safety, and pedestrian awareness, through interactive events and classroom kits.
