Christiana Care Health Services Program
About This Program
For more than a century, we have been a top-rated destination for EM education. We offer a rigorous and rewarding mix of formal education, hands-on learning. We're 22nd in the nation in ED visits and are Delaware's only Level I trauma center. In our ED, hands-on learning could mean a gunshot wound, a farming accident, and and septic shock all on the same shift. That kind of exposure prepares you to practice anywhere.
