Our goal is to provide you with outstanding training, mentorship and support to ensure your future success as an emergency physician. The OSF Saint Francis Emergency Department is a regional tertiary care, Level 1 Trauma Center that cares for over 85,000 annual patients. The recently completed ED renovation has 57 patient treatment rooms and 18 observation beds in a modern design that facilitates patient care.
