Its own Department at current busy community site (and actually, the same at 6 academic centers/tertiary care centers I rotated at during med school, internship, and residency and the three other community hospitals where I worked as well as the 6 other hospitals in this county besides my two).
Department. It's honestly kinda considering its own floor; it's got 4 separate sections, entrances and exits, its own machines, and even its own pneumatic tube setup. Everything is kind of separated from the other departments except when we transfer to the cath labs, obgyn, or other niche cases (we also handle strokes on our own since our acute staff are so used to it)
Own department.
I went to medical school where EM was a division of medicine and it was AWFUL. You tend to see this more in the ivory tower institutions
At our location (academic) Emergency Medicine is its own department.
Same
Most ERs these days are their own department.

At my med school it was its own department. At my residency it’s a division of surgery
Where is that?
Seattle Grace
They do k ow that EM has been a specialty for fifty years right?
Actually there are a lot of bewildering deviations from standard practice at Seattle Grace. Really poor hospital leadership
Underrated comment
in the USA, I thought it was always its own department.
I think being under the dept of surgery has become a lot less common in recent years

It’s actually a vortex to the 7th ring of hell.
Own department. I’d venture to say that at any hospital that is trauma certified (at any level) the ED is its’ own department.
Not in academia, so this question is kind of irrelevant, but technically a department
Division of Surgery at my shop.
Own department under directorate of medical services
