David Mackenzie, MD

My name is David Mackenzie. I am the ultrasound director and medical director at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine and Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Tufts University. I completed medical school at McGill University (2008), EM residency at Brown (2012), and ultrasound fellowship at MGH before moving to Maine. I was the first ultrasound-trained faculty member at MMC, and as director have helped build our mature EUS program, now a division of 8 faculty. I co-founded our AEMUS fellowship and medical student ultrasound programming and curriculum integration as well as APP training and system-level ultrasound. I am an experienced educator and researcher; my interests are in hemodynamic monitoring, POCUS test performance, and ultrasound in global health.

AEUS plays an essential role in promoting ultrasound in EM and beyond, in developing the careers of fellows and junior faculty, and providing meaningful educational and research support to our community. Within AEUS, I have had the opportunity to serve as a Sonogames judge and station developer and on the SAEMMIES awards committee. Within the ultrasound community, I have served on the SCUF annual meeting planning committee and was program committee lead for SCUF23 in Portland. Earlier in my career I served on the board of PURE, working to develop ultrasound programs in global health settings. I welcome the opportunity to support the AEUS Executive Committee's strategic priorities as a member-at-large; my experience has me well positioned to support AEUS aims and to further support AEUS membership.
