Nicholas M. Mohr, MD, MS

Member-at-Large University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine

Candidate Statement

Thank you for considering me for re-election to the SAEM Board of Directors. During my term on the Board, I have witnessed the impact of SAEM and our members shaping the future of academic emergency medicine, and our future is bright. I originally ran for election to the Board because of my deep appreciation for the role SAEM has played in my own mentorship and career development, and now is my opportunity to give back through service to the SAEM community.

I am a Professor of Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia Critical Care, and Epidemiology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and the Vice Chair for Emergency Care Research. I completed residency training and was a Chief Resident at Indiana University, then I completed fellowship training in critical care medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. I am currently the Director of the Physician-Scientist Training Pathway in the University of Iowa Emergency Medicine Residency Program and the Director of the Emergency Medicine-Anesthesia Critical Care Fellowship Program. My research focuses on systems of regionalized care to improve outcomes for emergency care-sensitive conditions, and I direct the Telehealth Research Center at the University of Iowa. My research is currently funded by NIH, AHRQ, CDC, and HRSA.

I have been active in SAEM for over 15 years, most recently as the Chair of the SAEM Grants Committee, Chair of the Abstracts Subcommittee of the SAEM Program Committee, and a Member-at-Large for the SAEM Board of Directors. I continue to be passionate about how SAEM can provide mentorship and professional development opportunities, and I am particularly interested in supporting programs to enhance a diverse workforce pipeline of emergency medicine researchers. Our Society is strong and healthy, and I am excited about our future nurturing the education, research, and professional development of academic emergency physicians. I would be honored to continuing serving the Society on the Board of Directors.
