Global Emergency Medicine Innovation and Implementation Research Center Established

In December of 2021, the Duke Global Health Institute and the Duke School of Medicine’s Division of Emergency Medicine established the Global Emergency Medicine Innovation and Implementation Research Center (GEMINI), the first academic research center focused on global emergency medicine. 

GEMINI builds on over a decade of previous work in global health within Duke’s Division of Emergency Medicine. The mission of GEMINI is to advance global emergency care through research, capacity building, and implementation of data-driven innovations to improve access to and equity of care.

According to GEMINI Co-Director Catherine Staton, Associate Professor with tenure of Emergency Medicine and Global Health, the center will focus on creating an egalitarian enterprise of partners.

Co-Director João Ricardo Vissoci, Ph.D. notes that in addition to creating a network of collaborators and building capacity through training researchers, GEMINI will feature data science and innovative research methods.
