Emergency medicine?

I am a high school sophomore and i am starting to think about college and my future career. I would love to work in a hospital ER, but i have one question. i am confused about Emergency Medicine...some sites list it as a major and others dont. I basically want to be an ER physician, so what would i have to major in in college and what courses would i have to take?
*i don't want to specialize in anything, i want to work in the ER for all of my medicinal career*

Well to do that you will need to go to medical school. Focus on one thing at a time buddy. Right now worry about doing well in high school so you can get into a good college.

Emergency room medicine is a specialty unto itself, just like surgery or orthopaedics.
1. 4 year under grad college, heavy on the sciences
2. 4 year med school.
3. residency in Emergency room medicine.
Most ER doctors work in the emergency room and nothing else. check the link.
