Wright State professors named “Heroes of Emergency Medicine”
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) has selected three physicians and educators affiliated with the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine to be honored as “Heroes of Emergency Medicine.”
Dr. Glenn Hamilton, Dr. Joan Kolodzik and Dr. Jonathan Singer, all faculty members within the school’s department of emergency medicine, were nominated by colleagues to be recognized for their significant contributions to emergency medicine, their communities and their patients.
The “Heroes of Emergency Medicine” program is part of a yearlong celebration of ACEP’s 40th anniversary. With 12 honorees selected from medical schools, hospitals and other health care organizations throughout Ohio, the three Wright State faculty members represent 25 percent of the state’s “heroes” and the highest number affiliated with any single institution.
Dr. Hamilton is professor and chair of emergency medicine and serves as Board Chair of the school’s National Center for Medical Readiness (NCMR), an innovative training center he co-founded to pioneer new approaches to civil medical readiness.
Dr. Kolodzik is assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine; director of education/EMS for Premiere Health Care Services and attending emergency physician at Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy.
Dr. Singer is associate program director and director of scholarly works for the medical school’s emergency medicine residency program, and is one of the first professors in the nation to specialize in pediatric emergency medicine.
