Rich Hamilton, MD, Drexel University College of Medicine
Moderated by: Andrew Starnes, EM Resident at Wake Forest School of Medicine
What you'll learn from Dr. Rich Hamilton:
There are a handful of chairs with previous military experience. How do you think your military experience has shaped your career and decision to pursue such a high leadership position?
I noticed you have an interest in game theory. First, can you give us a brief overview of game theory? How does this intertwine with your role as faculty in EM and as chair?
You ultimately pursued a toxicology fellowship after residency. How has this fellowship shaped your career? If an administrative fellowship had been available (or more readily available) in 1983, would you have pursued that as well or instead of your toxicology fellowship?
You have also been heavily involved in training astronauts. What do you enjoy most about this? How has this enriched your career
What is the biggest change you have seen in emergency medicine since graduating the University of Pennsylvania in 1983?
