Monash Emergency Research Collaborative (MERC)
The Monash Emergency Research Collaborative (MERC) is a multi-disciplinary collaborative network consisting of both clinical and research focused staff in emergency care. We focus on undertaking translational research that provides outcomes aimed at driving the implementation of best practise emergency care.
We are part of the Department of Medicine in the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health.
About us
