Marta Rowh, MD, PhD, MPH

Marta Rowh, MD, PhD, MPH, is an assistant professor of emergency medicine (EM) at Emory University and a leading researcher on artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical education and clinical practice. Her work focuses on leveraging AI to improve physician efficiency, optimize healthcare documentation, and address biases in medical curricula. Her research utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze how medical education materials represent disease demographics and incorporate diverse patient populations in case-based learning. As the 2025 recipient of the SAEM Education grant, she is leading an initiative to apply AI-driven analysis to large volumes of curricular content, identifying demographic underrepresentation that may reinforce health inequities. This research seeks to ensure that disparities seen in clinical care, such as the underdiagnosis of cardiovascular disease in women, are not perpetuated in medical education. It also provides educators with scalable tools to systematically assess and revise curricula to promote more equitable medical training.

Dr. Rowh is part of a multi-institutional study on Abridge AI-assisted note writing in emergency medicine, assessing its impact on physician efficiency, patient throughput, billing, and workflow optimization. Dr. Rowh has also published on understanding the ethical implications and pitfalls of using these adjuncts to clinical care. A national speaker on AI in medicine, Dr. Rowh presents on AI in clinical documentation, billing, and health equity. Through research, advocacy, and curriculum development, she is shaping the future of AI-driven innovations in academic medicine.
