Abstract:
The history of Emergency Medicine (EM) in Missouri reflects the larger history of EM as a burgeoning specialty throughout the United States, but with some important and unique contributions that may not be generally appreciated. We discuss historical events and important leaders of EM, but there are many we could not mention. Much of the information comes from personal interviews with the physicians who "were in the room where it happened.". We hope the article will illuminate the progress made in caring for critical illness and injury through the development of a new specialty focused on that goal. We recognize there are many emergency physicians not mentioned that have played a large role in maintaining and growing the academic programs, improving the delivery of care through administrative and legislative actions, and navigating the specialty through enormously challenging times.
