Emergency medicine is a newly created specialty in Puerto Rico. The first training program began in 1977. Unfortunately this program was decertified by ACGME in 30 July 30 1993. On June 1, 1994 thanks to support of UPR School of Medicine new training program began. The program began using as a main clinical training site the PR Medical Center Emergency Room until 1995. Since that date the Hospital UPR, Dr Federico Trilla became its main clinical training site. Since its inception the program has graduated 116 emergency physicians, with more than 60% working in PR. The department's contribution to health care in Puerto Rico has been and will be based on the achievements of its faculty, residents and alumni. Approximately 25% of emergency rooms directors in PR are graduates. About 27% of graduates have subspecialties. It is also important to note that graduates of the program have helped to improve the quality of health care offered in emergency rooms in the country.
急诊医学是波多黎各新设立的一个专业。首个培训项目始于1977年。不幸的是，该项目于1993年7月30日被美国毕业后医学教育认证委员会取消认证。1994年6月1日，在波多黎各大学医学院的支持下，新的培训项目启动。该项目在1995年之前一直将波多黎各医疗中心急诊室作为主要临床培训地点。自那时起，波多黎各大学医院（费德里科·特里利亚医生医院）成为其主要临床培训地点。自项目启动以来，已培养了116名急诊医生，其中60%以上在波多黎各工作。该部门对波多黎各医疗保健的贡献一直并将继续基于其教员、住院医师和校友的成就。波多黎各约25%的急诊室主任是该项目的毕业生。约27%的毕业生有亚专业。同样重要的是要指出，该项目的毕业生有助于提高该国急诊室提供的医疗保健质量。
