The department is an AHA-accredited international training centre for conducting Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support courses and these courses are conducted every month. An Emergency Medicine Technician course was started in 2015. We also conduct the Emergency Trauma Life Support course, developed by our own faculty.

As a routine, the department functions 24/7/365 days to handle emergencies with well-trained, capable senior and junior staff available around the clock. An 8-bedded Intensive Care Unit is an integral part of the department where emergencies of all specialties are admitted and stabilised. It also helps to provide support for mass gatherings in our city, and disaster relief nationally and internationally.
