Welcome to SREMI

The Schwartz/Reisman Emergency Medicine Institute (SREMI) is a not-for-profit research, education and health policy institute, established in November 2013 by a founding gift from the Schwartz/Reisman Foundation. Based at Mount Sinai Hospital, SREMI is a partnership of the Sinai Health and North York General Hospital (NYGH). SREMI includes a team of scientists, educators and staff, with expertise in research methodology, biostatistics, knowledge translation and dissemination. This infrastructure creates a vehicle to support sustained and stable funding for researchers and educators to conduct meaningful work on a long-term basis.

"Our network brings together some of Canada’s leading emergency medicine educators and researchers with expertise in patient care efficiency, care of the elderly, education, simulation and research. We will work hard to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency departments, train the next generation of emergency department healthcare providers and attract the world’s best and brightest minds in the field, all with the goal of improving patient care."
