Nicholas M. Mohr, MD, MS

Nicholas Mohr, MD, MS is a Professor of Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia Critical Care, and Epidemiology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He is also the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine, the Director of the Emergency Medicine-Anesthesia Critical Care Fellowship Program, the Director of the Emergency Medicine Physician Scientist Training Pathway (PSTP) in the Emergency Medicine Residency Program, and the Director of the Rural Telehealth Research Center. Dr. Mohr completed residency in emergency medicine and was a Chief Resident at Indiana University, then he completed fellowship in critical care medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Mohr has been active in SAEM, most recently serving as the Chair of the SAEM Grants Committee (2019-2022), the Chair of the Scientific Subcommittee (Abstracts) of the SAEM Program Committee (2019-2022), and the SAEM Representative to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Physician Scientist Training Pathway Committee (2021-present). He also served as the Chair of the Planning Committee for the SAEM Great Plains Regional Meeting in 2016, the Co-Lead of the Writing Committee for the SAEM Generational Issues in Emergency Medicine Task Force (2009-10), and a member of the SAEM Research Committee. Dr. Mohr’s interest in a position on the Board of Directors stems from his deep appreciation for the role SAEM has played in his own mentorship and personal career development. He is particularly interested in issues of professional mentorship within the Society and how the Society can establish procedures for more robust succession planning within committees, task forces, and academies. More globally, he is interested in how emergency medicine as a specialty can grow the cadre of successfully funded independent researchers, and his recent work has focused on improving residency and junior faculty training opportunities for graduates of Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTP, MD/PhD training). Dr. Mohr feels that the Society is critical to the future of academic emergency medicine education, research, and practice, and he would be honored to serve the Society on the Board of Directors.
