Biography
I am currently professor, chair, and chief of service of the department of emergency medicine at the University of Florida, College of Medicine-Jacksonville. I have served in these roles since March of 2012 with department oversight responsibility for all clinical, academic and research activities. I completed medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in 1993. I then completed my residency training at the University of Florida HSC in Jacksonville, Florida in 1997. I remained on staff serving in a variety of educational roles including assistant residency director, student clerkship director, director of medical education, residency program director and associate chair for academic affairs. I currently also serve as vice president for the UF Jacksonville physician practice plan. My academic interest have centered on resident and simulation education, clinical policy development, advanced airway management training and procedural sedation. As result of my experience in simulation, I have also served as our institution’s assistant dean for simulation education since 2008.
My involvement in AACEM has included acting as a presenter and working with the AACEM president in 2015 with on-site planning for the conference hosted in Ponte Vedra, Florida and then serving actively on the member advocacy workgroup for the past two years.
Since joining AACEM, I have been struck by the immense amount of knowledge and experience concentrated in this accomplished group and I am truly humbled by this nomination. Given the diverse involvement of members in societal leadership roles across not only emergency medicine but also other leading medical academic societies, I feel this organization in uniquely positioned to bring issues impacting academic emergency medicine to the forefront in a concerted and coordinated manner.
If elected to serve I would
• work within the board to help identify and solve problems impacting and even threatening the role and performance of academic medicine in today’s complex healthcare world; and
• strive to work with the membership to identify areas of opportunity for collaboration across societies where AACEM can provide leadership and facilitate enhanced communication that promotes shared solutions.
